Found this on Tumblr. If you don't like spoilers, don't read. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I managed to get this much from the australian google books link preview. I actually don’t know if it’s in order, but I’m pretty sure it is. I couldn’t get any more story from before or after the exert. I really don’t know if it’s true. I think it’s been hacked as I doubt this would be in it. Or maybe someone posted a fanfiction on a google books review? I also have no idea what the ‘1’ means. It could mean Rachel for all we know. This exert’s narrated from Jasons POV as well. But here it is. Please tell me what you think-
'Welcome to Salona,' Favonius said. 'Capital of Dalmatia! Birthplace of Diocletian! But before that, long before that, it was the home of Cupid.' The name echoed as if voices were whispering it through the ruins. Something about this place (…)
Jason had never thought much about Cupid. He’d certainly never thought of Cupid as scary. Even for Roman demigods, the name conjured up an image of a silly winged baby with a toy bow and arrow, flying around in his diapers on Valentine’s Day
'Oh, he's not like that,' said Favonius.
Jason flinched. ’You can read my mind?’
’I don’t need to.’ Favonius tossed his bronze hoop in the air. ‘Everyone has the wrong impression of Cupid … until they meet him.’
Nico braced himself against a column, his legs trembling visibly
. ‘Hey, man …’ Jason stepped towards him, but Nico waved him off. At Nico’s feet, the grass turned brown and wilted. The dead patch spread outwards, as if poison were seeping from the soles of his shoes.
(….)
When they hit Jason, he almost lost consciousness — overwhelmed by hatred and fear and shame Images flashed through his mind. He saw Nico and his sister on a snowy cliff in Maine, Percy Jackson protecting them from a manticore. Percy’s sword gleamed in the dark. He’d been the first demigod Nico had ever seen in action. Later, at Camp Half-Blood, Percy took Nico by the arm, promising to keep his sister Bianca safe. Nico had believed him. Nico had looked into his sea-green eyes and thought, How can he possibly fail? This is a real hero. He was Nico’s favourite game, Mythomagic, brought to life.
Jason saw the moment when Percy returned and told Nico that Bianca was dead. Nico had screamed and called him a liar. He’d felt betrayed, but still when the skeleton warriors attacked, he couldn’t let them harm Percy. Nico had called on the earth to swallow them up, and then he’d run away — terrified of his own powers, and his own emotions. Jason saw a dozen more scenes like this from Nico’s point of view and they left (…couldn’t get this part)
‘Do you have the strength after all?’
'I left Camp Half-Blood because of love,' Nico said.
'Annabeth she 3 (not sure who said that)
'Still hiding', Cupid said, smashing another skeleton to pieces (…) You do not have the strength.
'Nico,' Jason managed to say, 'it's okay. I get it”
Nico glanced over, pain and misery washing across his face. ‘No, you don’t,’ he said. ‘There’s no way you can understand’
‘And so you run away again, Cupid chided.’ From your friends, from yourself’
’I don’t have friends!’ Nico yelled. ‘I left Camp Half-Blood because I don’t belong! I’ll never belong!’
The skeletons had Cupid pinned now, but the invisible god laughed so cruelly that Jason wanted to summon another bolt of lightning. Unfortunately, he doubted he had the strength.
‘Leave him alone Cupid’ Jason croaked, ‘This isn’t” His voice failed. He wanted to say it wasn’t Cupid’s business, but he realized this was exactly Cupid’s business.
Something Favonius said kept buzzing in his ears: Are you shocked? The story of Psyche finally made sense to him — why a mortal girl would be so afraid. Why she would risk breaking the rules to look the god of love in the face because she feared he might be a monster. Psyche had been right. Cupid was a monster. Love was the most savage monster of all. Nico’s voice was like broken glass.
‘1-I wasn’t in love with Annabeth”
‘You were jealous of her,’ Jason said. ‘That’s why you didn’t want to be around her. Especially why you didn’t want to be around him. It makes total sense.’
All the fight and denial seemed to go out of Nico at once. The darkness subsided. The Roman dead collapsed into bones and crumbled into dust. ‘I hated myself’
(….)
He watched Nico with satisfaction, as if he’d identified the exact spot for his next arrow to make a clean kill
'1 had a crush on Percy,' Nico spat. 'That's the truth. That's the big secret.' He glared at Cupid. 'Happy now?' For the first time, Cupid's gaze seemed sympathetic.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say Love always makes you happy’ His voice sounded smaller, much more human. ‘Sometimes it makes you incredibly sad. But at least you’ve faced it now. That’s the only way to conquer me” Cupid dissolved into the wind. On the ground where he’d stood lay an ivory staff three feet long, topped with a dark globe of polished marble about the…
It took me way too long to get all this. I’m 99.99% sure ’1’ is a character’s name that’s blocked, not ‘I’. If it were true, rick riordan would get some angry fangirls ambushing him because they want to end up with nico, even though he’s a character. I personally fully support gay rights but sadly a lot of people don’t and I think there would be some angry parents if there was a gay character in a kid’s book. What do you guys think?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think my fangirl dreams are crushed.
If you're going to say something that slams gays or their rights, or about how disgusting this is, I suggest you get the fuck out.
