My arrogance got me here. I boasted in front of millions. I declared that I was the best. I am undefeated I said. Why did I lose if I was everything I said I was? Why am I being compelled to fight for my liberty?

Forcing me to spend my eternity underground. He saved me when I had given up hope. Or so I thought. He offered one prison in exchange for another. He made me an offer in return for my freedom. I accepted because I was not foolish enough to give up my independence. Or perhaps I was foolish enough to jeopardize my life. I'm still not sure which. And I know I'm going to die. I am certain. I'm going to die, but I refuse to go down without a fight.

I am the greatest.

I'll show anyone who thinks otherwise.

This isn’t a fairytale. Love and friendship will not be able to help me. There will be no prince to save me. I shall be the only one to rise.

I will always be victorious. Whatever the case may be.

Bella Cooper is defiant and strong, even when her modernized finishing school for girls tries to rip her opinionated personality from her. However, dealing with prissy rich girls and 'feminine manners' are the least of her worries.  Recently, she's come face to face with crazy weird monsters and learned about some new Greek family that has some on-going drama which, unfortunately, she is now part of. Luckily, Camp Half-Blood is a place where kids can learn about their new powers and abilities, and explore their history safely. Sounds perfect, and the only thing Bella needs is to be a demi-god!

Well, she doesn't meet that criterion either.  Now she's only got three days to fix her broken family, learn how to have normal teenage relationships, and tell the truth about her Greek Underworld parent.

Let's hope that's enough time.
