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 CampHalfblood,
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 Annabethcan 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 AthenaParthenos 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.
