The Heroes of Olympus SeriesAbout Book 2: The Son of Neptune
In this five-book series, Roman and Greek demigods must combine forces
to save the world from monsters.
In The Lost Hero, three demigods named Jason, Piper, and Leo made their first visit to Camp Half-Blood, where they inherited a quest:
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.
Who are the other four mentioned in the prophesy? The answer may lie in another camp miles away, where a new camper has shown up and appears to be the son of Neptune, god of the sea...
About Book 1: The Lost Hero
After saving Olympus from the evil Titan lord, Kronos, Percy and
friends have rebuilt their beloved Camp Half-Blood, where the next
generation of demigods must now prepare for a chilling prophecy of
their own. Here, a new group of heroes will inherit a quest. But to
survive the journey, they’ll need the help of some familiar demigods.
Praise for The Lost Hero:
"Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their
wish... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic
teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales... Flashes
of humor lighten the mood at times, but a tone of urgency and imminent
danger seems as integral to this series as the last. With appealing
new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy
the demand for more." —Booklist
