Everyone knows Persephone. Queen of the Underworld. Goddess of Spring. Wife of Hades. Everyone also knows one thing about her— She never had children. They’re wrong. For seventeen years, Maia Carroway has lived an ordinary life, unaware that her mother is one of the most powerful Olympians. Hidden from both gods and monsters since birth, her existence has remained one of Olympus’s best-kept secrets. But secrets never stay buried forever. When her father reveals the truth on her seventeenth birthday, Maia is sent to Camp Half-Blood—the only place where demigods are truly safe. Her arrival sends shockwaves through camp, where rumors spread faster than wildfire. Why would the Queen of the Underworld hide a daughter? And what does Maia’s existence mean for the future of Olympus? While many campers fear the mysterious daughter of Persephone, one person doesn’t. Luke Castellan welcomes her without hesitation, becoming her first friend, her mentor, and slowly, the boy who begins stealing her heart. Meanwhile, Clarisse La Rue—the last person anyone expects—becomes Maia’s fiercest friend, proudly nicknaming her “Sunshine” and daring anyone to speak against her. As monsters close in, ancient secrets come to light, and the gods begin taking notice, Maia must discover who she truly is. Not just the daughter of Persephone, but a hero capable of proving that your parentage doesn’t determine your destiny. Sometimes, the greatest legends are the ones the gods tried to hide.
