To Be Mortal is set 7 years after the end of The Trials of Apollo. It reintroduces us to the PJO world and our favourite characters, who are all older and more mature now.
We see how they react when they meet an OC (Narina Lin) whose very nature raises questions they’ve never encountered before!
30 chapter story with 3 Acts. The first Act is a mystery arc, the second is a romantic arc (with STEM-romance flavour) and the final act ties it all together (and is the most action-packed!).
New chapters every Thursday!
