16 year old Naia Johnson is the daughter of a famous singer. She thought she was normal--but she was wrong.
One day, she's attacked by monsters, saved by a satyr, and then goes to Camp Half-Blood… a camp for demigods, both Roman as well as Greek. There she meets a boy named Leo, and a friend from her past she thought she'd never see again.
But Camp isn't all fun. Naia meets the goddess Hekate, who's planning to take over the camp and recruit Naia to help her. She has no choice in the matter, thanks to something her mother did years ago. And she can't tell anyone.
Then, to make things worse, she, Leo, and her friend Lou go on a quest to save the camp from a mysterious illness. One that Naia caused, on Hekate's whim. Plus, she's supposed to heal the gods of their "schizophrenia" issues.
Naia has an important destiny, a terrible secret—and a mad crush. How's a girl supposed to deal with all that?

'Look, I never wanted to be a half-blood.
Let's start from the top, shall we?
My name is Cassandra Jackson, but everyone usually calls me Cassie.
I'm 13 years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York. My older twin, Perseus, or Percy, also attended.
Are we both troubled kids?
I guess you could call it that.'

Cassandra's whole world is turned upside down. Her boyfriend, Luke, has been lying to her since they first met at Yancy Academy. Her father is a god. Her mom just died and... oh yeah! Cassie and her brother supposedly stole Zeus's master bolt.
But as they journey west, questions of who the real thief arise.

'Gods, huh? I definitely could live without them.'
