- Book Synopsis
-
The second 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.
Demigod Percy Jackson has a small problem - he can't remember anything. All he knows is that he must get away from these terrifying snake-haired women before they vaporize him.
Soon after, Percy finds himself at Camp Jupiter - a haven for demigods like him. It should ring a bell . . . But something isn't right. Still, there's only one thing Percy can remember from his past. The name Annabeth.
But Percy's questing days aren't over and now he, and his new friends, must face their deadliest trial ever. . .rescuing the literal god of Death.
No one ever said being a demigod was easy!
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!
Ideal for readers who:
- Have no objection to being thrown straight into action with memories missing and monsters close behind
- Could find Percy’s arrival at Camp Jupiter and the Roman angle a strong hook
- Relish fantasy worlds that keep expanding while staying tied to familiar characters
- Need pace, humour and danger working together rather than taking turns
