    Summary

    They stared at each other, tension coiling tight and painful between them.

    “You don’t get it,” Percy said finally. “You don’t have to be perfect.”

    Annabeth laughed once, short and bitter. “That’s easy for you to say.”

    Percy recoiled slightly. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

    “It means,” she said carefully, “that perfection has never been optional for me.”

    His expression softened, anger draining into something like understanding—and that terrified her more than the anger had.

    She stepped back. “I’m done with this conversation.”

    She turned and walked away before he could stop her.

     

    OR

     

    Annabeth Chase knows exactly who she is — or at least, who she has been told to be.
    Percy Jackson has known her long enough to see the difference.

    Summary

    For years Annabeth Chase had always just been someone Percy Jackson noticed in the high school hallways. Someone he had only spoken to a handful of times. Someone who always existed just outside of his life. Someone noticeable. Someone who would never, ever notice him. Never even talk to him unless it was absolutely necessary to do so. No way. Couldn't happen. Right?

    Wrong!

    Or, alternatively, to set the stage, Percy is entering his junior year of high school and the very girl he only ever really saw from a distance, Annabeth, is suddenly not so distant. She's sat in the seat right in front of him in his first period class.

    Summary

    Annabeth Chase grew up believing in fairytales: golden kingdoms, eternal loyalty, and a prince willing to fight for her until the end. But love fails in the hands of the reckless. Betrayed and abducted on her own wedding night, the Queen of Athens awakens in a world of salt and iron where promises are worthless.

    Rescued from a shipwreck by the infamous pirate Percy Jackson—who sees her as nothing more than a prize—Annabeth decides to take command of her own story. Convinced that her husband is still waiting for her, Princess Annabeth strikes a bargain with the pirate to return her home, unaware that the voyage back is far more dangerous than the ocean itself.

    Because this is no fairytale, and she is no one’s princess.

    Summary

    She had spent so long measuring every gesture, every kiss, every word—that it stopped registering as a conscious action. Percy had proven to her time and time again that he would always be there, but up until now, their lives had been built around survival. For every knife she took for him was a long and treacherous fall he'd taken for her.

    It scared her to think that, without threats or fatal reasons to have the other’s back, he might realize she wasn’t doing enough.

    or Annabeth Chase learns that it’s okay to be taken care of.
