County Mayo is rich in the traditions of Ireland, legends that Branna
O’Dwyer fully embraces in her life and in her work as the proprietor of
The Dark Witch shop, which carries soaps, lotions, and candles for
tourists, made with Branna’s special touch.
Branna’s strength
and selflessness hold together a close circle of friends and
family—along with their horses and hawks and her beloved hound. But
there’s a single missing link in the chain of her life: love…
She had it once—for a moment—with Finbar Burke, but a shared future is
forbidden by history and blood. Which is why Fin has spent his life
traveling the world to fill the abyss left in him by Branna, focusing on
work rather than passion.
Branna and Fin’s relationship offers
them both comfort and torment. And though they succumb to the heat
between them, there can be no promises for tomorrow. A storm of shadows
threatens everything that their circle holds dear. It will be Fin’s
power, loyalty, and heart that will make all the difference in an
age-old battle between the bonds that hold their friends together and
the evil that has haunted their families for centuries.

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II
have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to
defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen-all of them-and
they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of
Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She
needs their blood-the blood of Olympus-in order to wake.
The
demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp
Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is
almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the
Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know
that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps.
The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II
will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality
disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to
persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is
to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too
much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.
