A soft, golden light seems to cling to her, the demigod princess born of a mortal king and the Queen of the Gods. Her existence has always been a negotiation—between Olympus, the demigod camp, and a distant kingdom. She was settled at camp at three, splitting her years: summers in the mortal world, the rest on Olympus with her divine mother. Now, on the cusp of sixteen, she is returning to her father’s land to be crowned princess, then queen. The camp treats her with hushed reverence, but she wears that respect like a too-heavy mantle, her eyes holding a quiet, desperate wish to slip out from under the weight of her bloodline and all it demands.
