As the son of Hades and Persephone, Sam's life isn't just complicated-it's mythic.
After a fiery showdown on a Pacific Northwest beach, Sam has had enough of gods, demons, and the constant guilt of letting down his friends. Fleeing the chaos, he seeks refuge in Echo Mesa, a quirky New Mexico commune he hopes can become a new home.
Reuniting with his mother, Persephone, should have been everything Sam hoped for. Instead, he uncovers a family secret: a half-brother named Orion, whose charm hides a heart as dark as the desert nights. When a mysterious old man teaches Sam to channel his power through music, he learns of a prophecy tied to the Summer Solstice concert-a prophecy that places him center stage.
As betrayal brews and the concert looms, Sam must find his voice-not just to sing, but to stand up for himself and what he loves. With danger lurking in the shadows and the primal rhythm of music in the air, Sam's journey will test his courage, forge unexpected bonds, and reveal the strength of his heart.
Readers who love mythological adventure, complex family dynamics, and a touch of magic will love Summer's Son. Fans of stories like Percy Jackson, The Trials of Apollo, and The Raven Cycle will find themselves drawn to Sam's epic journey, filled with dark secrets, betrayal, and the power of music.
Will Sam embrace his inner fire and fulfill his destiny, or will his melody fade into silence?
