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.
