A World Where Gods Walk Among Us
Imagine discovering that the Greek myths you learned about in school are actually real, and those gods have children walking among us. In "The Titan's Curse," Percy Jackson-son of Poseidon-finds himself thrust into a desperate winter mission when his friend Annabeth is captured during what should have been a routine rescue operation. What begins as a simple extraction of two powerful half-bloods-siblings Bianca and Nico di Angelo-from a military school in Maine spirals into disaster when Dr. Thorn, a vice principal who's actually a manticore monster, ambushes them. During the ensuing battle, the Hunters of Artemis arrive to help, but Annabeth disappears over a cliff with the monster. This loss haunts Percy throughout the story, driving him to increasingly desperate measures to save her. Meanwhile, the goddess Artemis herself appears, revealing she's hunting a monster powerful enough to bring down Olympus-before she too disappears, setting up the central quest of the novel.
