❝ For almost as long as she’d known she was a half-blood, Lydia had wanted to go on a quest. Being an adventurous kid by nature (as well as a dramatic and overly perky kid, according to Camp Half-Blood’s notoriously surly head counsellor), she ached to venture out and retrieve some important magical object or face some terrifying monster on behalf of her father, to carry out a mission that would make for the summer of her life and get her some glory in the process.

Unfortunately for her, a quest didn’t seem to be the will of her father, Apollo - or of anyone else in her life, for that matter. Chiron kept insisting that she wasn’t ready, wasn’t trained enough, to put herself in danger like that; her moms, when she was home, practically forbade her to go even if her father did call her on one, not wanting her to be in danger; even her best camp friend Annabeth, for all she was desperate to go on a quest herself, didn’t think she was good enough to succeed. It didn’t even matter that Lydia was one of the rare Camp Half-Blood campers with an actual power from her godly heritage, that she could cause smaller wounds to heal if she just focused enough; she was always too cheerful, too trusting, too weak for anyone to take her seriously, let alone allow her to put herself in danger just because she wanted the thrill of adventure.

As much as it hurt - as much as she knew everyone else was wrong about her, they had to be - Lydia had resigned herself to always being blocked from what she wanted. She trained as hard as she possibly could every summer, in combat and survival skills and even honing her healing power, striving like Tartarus to be good enough that Chiron would finally deem her ready, and in the meantime, she hung out with Annabeth and dreaded going back to school when the summer ended and tried, always in vain, to get Mr. D to agree to let her arrange a camp-wide musical production. But she’s been going to Camp Half-Blood since she was seven, and now she’s twelve, and it’s starting to seem like the opportunity for her to go on a quest is never going to come… until Percy Jackson stumbles into camp having just killed a minotaur and is told he’ll have to locate Zeus’s Master Bolt and prevent an Olympus-wide war.

Seeing her chance finally arriving, and not about to let the fact that half-blood quests are typically done in threes stop her, Lydia sneaks out of camp and follows Percy, Grover, and Annabeth, gleeful when it’s too late to send her back by the time they even realize she’s come along. She’s absolutely thrilled to finally be taking part in a quest, to experience the high stakes and adventure she’s been aching for for so long - until their little band nearly gets turned to stone and killed by a chimera in rapid succession, and Lydia starts to think that maybe everyone was right about her not being ready for this after all.

Still, though, Lydia does have her best friend, a really nice satyr, and a sarcastic forbidden kid who’s actually kind of cute, as well as her typical bright smile, boundless determination, and arsenal of classic musical theatre songs. So maybe, just maybe, this quest that she isn’t even supposed to be on might not turn out so terribly after all.

If Zeus doesn’t smite her for helping the kid he suspects to be a thief. Or her father doesn’t smite her for going on a quest without his permission. Or her moms don’t ground her for life when they find out, or Chiron doesn’t give her that disappointed look he does so well, or all four of them don’t get killed along the way, or - okay, why did she leave camp again? ❞

❝ Arabella Larson was often regarded as her mother’s golden child. Having been claimed by Aphrodite less than a full day after she had arrived at Camp Half-Blood, a small girl of ten in a baby blue dress stained with dirt and blood from the million little scratches littering her arms, she had spent the next five summers building up a reputation as the goddess of love and beauty’s perfect child, the pinnacle of Cabin Ten. She was always impeccably dressed, always had her makeup perfectly done and her accessories well-matched, and had helped matchmake for more of her fellow campers over the years than she could fully remember. And she was proud of that, proud to be known as the most beautiful girl in camp and her mother’s favored daughter… but she also couldn’t deny the fear that was always there, that beautiful and put-together was all she would ever be known as, that no one would ever look beyond that to see her true personality or comfort her about the insecurities she had never felt comfortable sharing before for fear of seeming ungrateful for her status.

Noelle Perez, on the other hand, was certainly not the favorite child of her own godly parent - if only because her father, Ares, was notorious for disliking all of his children. Having lived at Camp Half-Blood year-round since she was eight, after her mother had died, Noelle was used to being the unofficial caretaker of all of her half-siblings, providing them with extra combat training when they asked for it and doing her best to make sure they didn’t pick too many fights and stayed out of trouble (not that she was very good at the “not picking fights” bit herself, but, well, do as she said, not as she did). She was one of the best fighters in camp, the bane of Mr. D’s existence, and she did her best to be a good big sister, but she could admit, if only to herself, that sometimes she longed to be able to break down, to share the pain that had been festering within her since she had lost her mother, to scream and wail and cry into someone’s shoulder the way she had only allowed herself to do into her pillow these past long years.

If there was one thing these two girls, seemingly different as could be, had in common, it was their mutual dislike of each other. Noelle had always loathed how beloved Arabella was around camp and by her godly parent, how she seemed to walk around floating on air with a perfectly sweet smile on her face, and on the other side of the divide between them, Arabella was secretly jealous of how outwardly angry and defiant Noelle allowed herself to be, how she was loved among her half-siblings rather than being the object of their envy the way Arabella herself was, and she chose to cover her jealousy with a wrinkled nose and a passive-aggressive comment about how distasteful she found violence. It seems like the two girls will go on like this for years, trading snide remarks and glaring at each other’s backs until they are finally old enough to leave camp for good and never see each other again - until, that is, Aphrodite assigns Arabella her first quest, and Ares, wanting to keep his lover happy by keeping her favorite daughter safe, assigns Noelle to act as the other girl’s bodyguard on the journey.

Now forced to leave the safety of camp and brave the danger of the quest together, alongside one of Arabella’s half-brothers who will do anything to sabotage the quest and take her place as Aphrodite’s favorite half-blood, Arabella and Noelle initially resist working together - after all, just because their parents’ wishes have forced them together doesn’t mean they have to get along. But as the quest progresses, several midnight discussions are had, and walls begin to crumble down, they might find that they can open themselves up to friendship - and, possibly, even love - with each other after all.

If the monsters and Arabella’s stupid brother don’t end up killing them first, that is. ❞
