Her giants have risen--all of them--and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood--the blood of Olympus--in order to wake. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. 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 \u003ci\u003emight\u003c\/i\u003e be able to stop a war between the two camps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Athena Parthenos will go west; the \u003ci\u003eArgo II\u003c\/i\u003e will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. 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. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over. \u003cbr\u003eThe accessible and dramatic cover art by graphic novelist Nilah Magruder will attract a new generation of fans.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Riordan\u003c\/b\u003e, dubbed \"storyteller of the gods\" by \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, is the author of five #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e best-selling middle grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, and the Trials of Apollo, based on Greek and Roman mythology; the Kane Chronicles, based on Ancient Egyptian mythology; and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, based on Norse mythology.
