The Lost Hero:
Jason has a
problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding
hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a
kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding
school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no
idea-except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a
secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares
reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her,
and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip,
she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What
is going on?
Leo has a way
with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously,
the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training,
monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps
talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates
insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god.
Rick Riordan,
the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and
suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans
of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left
breathless--and panting for Book Two.
The Son of Neptune:
Percy is
confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his
name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa
told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy managed to
make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to
continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp
doesn't ring any bells with him.
Hazel is
supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of
it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her
"gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now, because of
her mistake, the future of the world is at risk.
Frank is a klutz.
His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes, but he doesn't even
know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only
thing he is good at is archery. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like
a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He
trusts her completely-enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his
heart.
Beginning at
the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far north as the
land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment in the Heroes of
Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features
other remarkable creatures, all of whom are destined to play a part in the most
important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.
The Mark of Athena:
In The Son of
Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of
Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the
gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus
series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only
six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?
The Greek and
Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by
the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient
land to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of
the prophecy remains a mystery. . . .
With old
friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an
exotic setting, The Mark of Athena is be another unforgettable adventure by
master storyteller Rick Riordan.
The House of Hades:
At the
conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy
tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods
have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the
mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth
can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors
from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if
the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be
able to escape?
They have no
choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies
will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on
Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives
into the depths of Tartarus.
This
paperback edition will include a never-before-seen short story, "The Crown
of Ptolemy," in which Percy and Annabeth fight alongside
Carter and Sadie Kane, and more bonus content!
The Blood of Olympus:
Though the
Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many
quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her
giants have risen-all of them-and they're stronger than ever. They must be
stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to
have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood-the blood of
Olympus-in order to wake.
The demigods
are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The
Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking
distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos
to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue
belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the
two camps.
The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods,
still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a
handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's
army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no
other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is
game over.
