Book 3, CULT: missionaries arrive on a holy quest to fulfill their scriptures. But the desert has other plans. Will they escape with their faith, or even their lives, intact?

Book 4, TRUNE: a long awaited arrival bursts into the world, slaughtering all that stand in her way. As characters from previous novels reappear and unify, will they survive to understand their greater destiny?

Book 5, SYNTH: an ancient guardian faces a foe that could destroy them all. Can the last remnants of humanity escape the terrible wrath pursuing them from the past?

Book 6, DEITY: an entity guides a motley crew of creatures toward a new beginning in a planet's last gasp at life.

Review

 My favorite thing about the book was the format. It's a collection of 6 novellas, each telling a different story, but somehow they fit together to tell one hell of a story. 

 Hard time reads like classic sci-fi, full of twists. Stories are each interesting in their own way, pieces somehow fitting together. In the start of the book I had trouble connecting to the story, but the more I read, the more I started to like it. :)

 It's an intriguing story, a bit dark and very unique. 
Happy reading,
Anie

Heroes are finally all together. They didn't have the best start, the peace with the Roman camp they were hoping for is long gone and they are planning on going after them.  They are on a ship, made by Leo, trying to come to the ancient land, but of course, it never goes smoothly for the heroes. Annabeth has a quest of her own to complete, she has to follow the Mark of Athena and find the statue that was lost for centuries. She is hoping that it will help bring peace between the camps, but the mission is not easy.  It's my favourite in the series so far- Percy and Annabeth are finally back together. :) And that cliffhanger at the end, omg! rating ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
