    Summary

    ”Because you're not him!” Thalia screamed, the words ripping out her throat with such raw, agonising force that it echoed off the surrounding buildings.

    In the dusty, quiet aftermath of the Battle of Manhattan, Percy Jackson just wanted to buy his cousin a cheeseburger. He didn't expect a harmless comment from a tired waitress to shatter their fragile post-war peace. While Percy is left drowning in confusion and a stinging sense of failure, Thalia retreats to the shadows of Central Park, running from a secret shame she has carried for seven long years.

    Summary

    "The rules of my birthday involve me getting to punch things," she snapped, learning her head back against the vinyl headrest with a frustrated groan. "Not sitting in a fruit delivery truck listening to some weird, low fidelity indie radio station while you smile like you've successfully hotwired a pegasus."

    For the last year, Clarisse La Rue has been carrying the weight of her cabin, the camp's defences, and the fractured pieces of Chris's mind. For her birthday, Chris decides she's carried it long enough. Armed with a heavy chocolate cake, a stolen Delphi Strawberry Services van, and a mortal invention called a rage room, he gives her the one thing she actually needs: absolute, uninhibited freedom.

    Summary

    "He acts like a marble statue because he has been taught that if the statue cracks, the temple falls."

    The wind off the Long Island Sound brings no comfort to the porch of the Big House. With Percy missing in hostile Roman territory and the weight of the upcoming quest fracturing her mind, Annabeth Chase finds herself managing a new kind of threat: Jason Grace. He carries no malice, no arrogance, and no cruelty. Instead, he carries an infuriating, selfless nobility - and a tragic resemblance to Luke Castellan that forces Annabeth to live with a ghost that refuses to haunt properly.

    Summary

    "Because nobody has ever called me their son like that before. Not a regular guy, anyway. Not someone who stays around for dinner."

    Paul Blofis knows he is just a mortal English teacher. He can't help Percy fight monsters, and he can't give him a magical sword. But when an accidental slip-up at a family dinner leads to a quiet confrontation in the kitchen, Paul realises that a regular guy who stays around for the semesters, the homework, and the bad days might be exactly what Percy needs.

    Summary

    To Percy, 'stepfather' was a word associated with beer cans, stale cigars, and small, daily cruelties. Paul knew that if he pushed too hard, if he tried to claim a closeness he hadn't earned, he risked triggering those old, defensive walls. So, he remained 'Paul.' The polite, helpful English teacher who happened to love Sally Jackson.

    As a late November blizzard traps them inside a chilly Manhattan apartment, Paul Blofis navigates the invisible boundaries between being an ordinary English teacher and caring for a 15 year old boy who has carried the weight of the sky.
