Synopsis

CAMP HALF-BLOOD is the only place for children of the Olympian gods to live. Where else can they fight monsters and practise archery with flaming arrows and explosives? But Camp Half-Blood’s latest recruits – Jason, Piper and Leo – haven’t been brought here for fun. A major problem has arisen. Hera, Queen of the Gods, has been imprisoned. They are the chosen ones to save her from great evil – with only four days to complete their quest. And that’s not all. Percy Jackson, hero of the half-bloods, is missing. The second great prophecy has begun. But the half-bloods have no idea how many enemies they’ve awakened. This is a war they cannot win . . . Can they?

She turned on her heels and marched toward the chariot.
Piper shook her head. "What's her problem? What's going on?"
"Seriously," Leo agreed.

"We have to get you out of here," Butch said. "I'll explain on the way."
"I'm not going anywhere with her." Jason gestured toward the blonde. "She looks like she wants to kill me . . ."
