Summary
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 and can be anything he wants to
be, but he doesn't see it. 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-although not good enough to help
the Fifth Cohort win at war games. 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. **
