prologue

~Book Two in "The Demigod Selection" series~

"When you're in love, you will do anything to protect them. You'll lie, you'll fight, you'll steal, you'll kill. You'll become the villain just so they can survive. Even after they leave, you'll destroy yourself for their happiness"

Prince Perseus Jackson had reached the time of his Selection. 35 girls were randomly Selected, making them a new part in the Prince's life.

Only six girls remain from the originally 35. They're known as the Elite, and they include Annabeth Chase, Rachel Dare, Piper McLean, Hazel Levesque, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, and Thalia Grace.

Out of these six, the Prince must choose only one. But romance isn't the only thing occurring in the palace. Strange people have begun to arrive at the palace, all of them not offering any information other than a mysterious society: the D.I. On top of that, a hated enemy returns to the palace, more dangerous than before.

The Elite and Prince Percy, along with others, are forced to flee the palace after an attack, ultimately ending the Selection. Their saviors bring them to the D.I. and uncover a secret that no one had dared to even imagine.

The Selection showed Annabeth Chase how far people will go for love. Love has brought her thus far. Will it be enough to safe her?
