The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. She needs their blood-the blood of Olympus-in order to wake. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. Her giants have risen-all of them, and they’re stronger than ever. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea’s army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. The Athena Parthenos will go west the Argo II will go east. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance.
Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Note: The paperback edition features a new short story, The Staff of Serapis. Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await.
What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader, but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side. What more does Athena want from her?Īnnabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find-and close- the Doors of Death. In her pocket Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving demand: Follow the Mark of Athena. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.Īnd that’s only one of her worries. With its steaming bronze dragon masthead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy-after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera-it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god. What’s troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper’s gone missing.
Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Now her boyfriend doesn’t recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he’s in terrible danger. Apparently she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl.
