- Book Synopsis
-
The fourth book in the bestselling spin off series from Percy Jackson and the Olympians, featuring the original hero - now in a brand-new look!
Seven Heroes. One Prophecy. Destiny Calls.
Lost in the depths of the Underworld, Percy and Annabeth's lives rest in the hands of their friends and fellow demigods - Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank.
Their five friends must reach the Doors of Death - gateway to the Underworld - if they ever want to see Percy and Annabeth again. But between them and the doors lies a vicious army hellbent on destroying Camp Half-Blood. . .and the whole world with it.
If the demigods can fight their way through- and Percy and Annabeth can survive hell itself - they might just have a chance.
If they don't. . .Well, it's only the whole world at stake.
Return to the World of Percy Jackson in the best-selling, brand-new adventure featuring the original hero in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess - out now!
