Things have always been that. Straightforward. Orders are given. Orders are followed without any complaint or question. If you do as your told then, you have a chance of making it out. Jason Grace and Percy Jackson wanted out. And when they're told they can finally have their freedom if they kidnap a college girl they accept. Things don't go quite as planned and they end up with an extra hostage and two more boys who also want out: Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo. But things take a wrong turn when someone tries to kill them. Next thing they know their on the run with their hostages trying to figure out which way to turn. Things take another wrong turn and the people on their side may have never been on their side at all. Or they all simply still stuck in this twisted game? And they may gain their freedom, but the very thing they were trying to save may have been gone this entire time. Turns out things aren't so straightforward after all. Cover By: @Always_Love_Books_
