    Summary

    When Percy Jackson accepts a quest to the Underworld, he expects monsters, spirits, and a stubborn soul that refuses to pass on.

    He doesn’t expect to be dragged back into the Trojan War.

    He doesn’t expect the visions that follow him there—memories that aren’t his, a life that feels too familiar, a city that looks at him like it almost remembers. And he definitely doesn’t expect the presence that lingers at the edge of his sight, a ghost from the Underworld that grows clearer the longer he stays, watching him with a grief Percy doesn’t understand.

    As the past settles around him and the lines between memory and reality begin to blur, Percy is forced to confront a truth that refuses to stay buried: he is the reincarnation of Astyanax, the lost prince of Troy.

    And when the truth can no longer be ignored, Percy is forced to decide where he belongs—to the family he has in the present, or the one he left behind in another life.

    Summary

    Betrayed and broken, former General Rourke is stripped of everything but his life, which is now the property of his most cunning rival, General Thalia.

    "As if he’d heard her thoughts, his ribs seemed to contract. And there, in the flickering firelight, she saw it—the unmistakable, livid imprint of a boot heel, a bruise blackening the pale skin and sharp bone of his side. Someone else had already had her thoughts and acted on them. She blew out a long, winding breath and took a fortifying, unladylike, gulp of wine.
    She wouldn’t, but he didn’t know that. Any opportunity for a freshly built camaraderie between them had been shattered in the desert, and she didn’t blame him for it in the slightest. She forced herself to turn her eyes off his prostrated form and back to the platter. She perused the offerings with feigned enthusiasm. As if this were planned. As if it were normal."

    Summary

    Turning back to Lan Xichen, Wen Xu smiles. “Very well,” he says. “Since you beg so humbly for your brother’s life, I will grant your dying wish. The Nightless City is home to a number of courtesans, and I think your brother will look quite pretty in paint and silks. Let anyone who visits the Nightless City be witness to the Lan Clan’s shame. Let them see what will happen to their sons, if they disobey.”

    ~

    After Cloud Recesses burns, Wen Xu brings Lan Wangji — the last Lan — back to Nightless City as his prize. Not to be outdone, his brother Wen Chao soon returns with a prize of his own: the Jiang Sect's senior disciple, Wei Wuxian.

    The Wens will come to regret this particular set of choices.
