About the Book

Jason Grace wakes up on a school bus with no memory, flanked by friends he doesn't recognize, and quickly finds himself at Camp Half-Blood with two new companions—Piper and Leo—as they embark on a quest to rescue Hera and prevent the rise of the earth goddess Gaea. The opening of the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods alongside familiar ones and expands the mythology to include Roman traditions.
