Instinct and Realization
Book 3: Head Above Water Series

____

Six month have come and gone at Camp Half-Blood.

Arya is working hard to ignore Luke, and her possible world ending decision she was informed she would make at the end of last summer. Instead she is focusing her energy on living a double life. Her weeks at camp, her weekends, a normal teenager in New York.

Though, the coming war still weights heavy on her mind. It becomes increasingly more prominent as she goes across the country to save Annabeth, with a group of people all at odds with one another.

With less than a month until she turns sixteen, the stress is starting to weigh heavy on the Daughter of Poseidon. Family ties are put to the test, unlikely friendships are formed, battles are fought both internally and externally.

Arya has never run from a fight, but she fears she might have finally met her match.
