Summary

While driving with Rachel Dare, Percy Jackson is accosted by Charles Beckendorf, and the two set out to assault Luke's ship, Princess Andromeda. Because of a spy at Camp Half-Blood, Kronos, who is housed in Luke's mortal body, is not caught off guard, and Beckendorf is murdered in an explosion. Later, Percy awakens in the underwater kingdom of his father Poseidon, which is under attack by the Titan Oceanus. Poseidon sends Percy back to Camp Half-Blood to hear the "Great Prophecy," but Percy wants to help fight. Percy reports the spy to the camp and learns that the Olympians are battling Typhon.

That night, Percy departs with Nico di Angelo, Hades' son, in search of information on how to fight Kronos. Percy obtains a blessing from his mother after visiting Luke's mother in Westport, Connecticut, and speaking with Hestia. He subsequently goes into the underworld, where he bathes in the River Styx and accepts Achilles' curse. Percy succeeds despite being deceived by Nico in return for information about the boy's mother. He exploits his new invulnerability to battle a tiny army of Hades' henchmen.

Percy appears in New York City after emerging from the Underworld, leaving Nico to persuade his father to join the fight against Kronos. Percy enlists the assistance of the campers to protect Olympus, as the gods refuse to give up their fight with Typhon. New York City is put to sleep by a tremendous sleeping spell cast by Morpheus, Hecate, and Kronos himself just before the conflict begins. Despite the addition of Thalia's Hunters of Artemis, the Party Ponies, and a few other allies, the Olympian army is unable to repel the Titan army's relentless attacks. Out of the original 40 campers, about 16 perish at Camp Half-Blood.

When Annabeth shields Percy from an attack by Ethan Nakamura that would have hit Percy in the Achilles tendon, she sustains a serious injury. Despite these defeats, Percy rejects Prometheus' offer of surrender and entrusts Hestia with the Titan's gift of Pandora's pithos. The campers destroy Hyperion, which enrages Kronos even more. Rachel Dare, who has been having unexplained prophesy moments, appears to warn Percy of a drakon that can only be slain by an Ares kid.

Silena Beauregard, dressed as Ares' chief counselor Clarisse, enters and breaks the cabin's war boycott, wounding herself in the process. In a fit of rage, the real Clarisse comes and kills the drakon on her own. The campers discover that Silena was the camp's spy, but that after her boyfriend Beckendorf died, she opted to atone for her wrongdoings.

Percy visits his father and requests that Poseidon join the battle against Typhon, which he grudgingly accepts. Percy and his allies are driven back to the blocks around the Empire State Building, where they make their final stand to preserve Mount Olympus. Kronos succeeds to reach Olympus even as Hades arrives with Nico and an army. Percy confronts Kronos without obtaining a meaningful edge for either side. The warriors may see Typhon nearing New York in an Iris message-vision, only to be vanquished by Poseidon and his Cyclopes.

Ethan Nakamura likewise defies Kronos' predictions, but he is assassinated. When Kronos threatens Annabeth, Luke regains control of his body and, with the help of Percy, injures himself to the brink of death, killing Kronos. Luke informs Percy before he dies that Ethan was correct; the battle was sparked by the wrath of unrecognized gods and unclaimed offspring. He passes away quietly, and his body is carried away by the Fates.

Thalia, Grover, Annabeth, Tyson, Clarisse, and Nico are among the heroes rewarded by the gods for their contributions to the destruction of the Titans. Percy is finally called forward. Zeus bestows to him the greatest of all gifts: immortal godhood. To the Olympians' surprise, Percy instead begs the gods to vow on the River Styx that they will claim all demigods by the age of thirteen, build homes for all minor gods and Hades' offspring, and grant amnesty to innocent Titans and former friends like Calypso. Percy also breaks Zeus', Poseidon's, and Hades' oaths not to produce demigod offspring.

Kronos isn't dead, Hermes tells Percy, but he's been spread so thin that he'll never form a mind, much alone a body again, because the Titans can't die any more than the gods can. Percy finds Rachel's plans to become the next Oracle after the conference, and he hurries to camp with Annabeth and Nico. Rachel is firmly established as the next Oracle under Apollo's guidance, and she delivers the next Great Prophecy. Percy's birthday is celebrated by Annabeth, and the two begin dating shortly after the chapter ends. Camp Half-Blood is slowly returning to normal as the gods keep their new vows. The end-of-summer bead pays tribute to the numerous slain demigods.

Summary

Percy Jackson goes to Goode High School for freshman orientation, where he meets Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a mortal who can see through the Mist. She assists him in defeating two empousai and escaping. Grover is in trouble with the Council of Cloven Elders for not having found Pan, so Percy travels to Camp Half-Blood. Annabeth and Percy accidentally find an entrance into the Labyrinth during a competition organized by the new sword instructor Quintus, which presents a possible invasion route for Luke. Annabeth is tasked with finding Daedalus and persuading him not to give Luke Ariadne's string, which would aid him in navigating the Labyrinth.

Grover, Percy, and Tyson are her chosen companions. Before leaving, Percy learns that Nico plans to resurrect his late sister (with the help of King Minos) by exchanging her soul for the soul of someone who has escaped death – someone like Percy. Before arriving at Geryon's ranch and meeting Nico, the questers face a number of challenges in the maze, including encounters with Briares, the Sphinx, and Janus. They go in search of Hephaestus, and after speaking with him, they split up: Tyson and Grover go in search of Pan, while Annabeth and Percy go to the god's forge in Mount St. Helens' volcano.

Kronos' smiths almost kill Percy in the forge, but he escapes by causing an earthquake that helps him get ejected from the volcano. When Percy awakens, he is on the island of Ogygia with Calypso, the Titan Atlas's daughter. Calypso tells Percy that she is cursed to fall in love with every hero who visits her island, but that the hero will never be able to stay. Percy realizes that he, too, must leave after Hephaestus informs him of events in the mortal world. Percy and Annabeth return to Camp Half-Blood and travel to Manhattan in search of Rachel, who should be able to navigate the Labyrinth.

Despite being kidnapped by Luke's minions, they make it to Daedalus' workshop and discover Quintus is an ancient inventor who lives as an automaton. He informs them that he has already aided Luke, believing they would not be able to withstand a Titan assault. Luke discovers the group and informs them that Minos has been planning to swap Daedalus' soul for his own. The four teenagers fight to get out of the maze, while Daedalus, who has been betrayed, remains in the maze with his hellhound.

Later, they discover the Titan castle of Mount Othrys and learn that Luke has been possessed by Kronos in some way. They run into Grover and Tyson and come to Pan's resting place, where he speaks to them and imparts a piece of his fading spirit to each of them. After that, the party, except Rachel, returns to Camp Half-Blood to battle. The Titan army streams out of the Labyrinth, seemingly winning until Daedalus comes with Mrs. O'Leary and Briares, who murder Kampê.

Grover causes a Panic, scaring away the remaining Titan soldiers. After the battle, Nico assists Daedalus in escaping the Labyrinth and destroys it. Percy departs camp for the school year after a memorial service for the deceased campers. At the conclusion of the summer, Percy receives a visit from his father Poseidon, who presents him with a sand dollar and advises him to "use it carefully." Nico subsequently comes and tells Percy about his plan to finally beat Luke.

Summary:

Sally Jackson gives Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Thalia Grace a trip to Westover Hall, a boarding school in Bar Harbor, Maine, where they would escort two half-blood siblings called Nico and Bianca di Angelo to Camp Half-Blood. An instructor dubbed Dr. Thorn, who is actually a manticore attacks them. Dr. Thorn dives from a cliff with Annabeth on his back, despite the arrival of the goddess Artemis and her hunters.

Artemis is worried by the manticore's description of a "Great Stirring" of monsters, and she sets out on her own to track down an Olympus-devouring monster she believes has finally returned from Tartarus. She rides her brother Apollo's solar chariot to Camp Half-Blood with the half-bloods and Hunters (who now include Bianca di Angelo when she accepts their pledge).

Percy and his Pegasus pal Blackjack save a sea monster named Bessie at camp, while Artemis' henchman Zo Nightshade begins experiencing strange visions about Artemis in dire peril. Annabeth saves Luke from being crushed by a cave roof by holding it up for him in Percy's nightmares. Both Zo and Percy are unable to intervene until the Oracle (an elderly mummy) escapes from the Big House's attic on his own, during a capture the flag game in which Thalia and Percy come dangerously close to colliding.

Zo and Chiron plan a journey when it gives a prophecy to her, and she decides to invite Thalia, Grover Underwood, Bianca, and another Hunter along (who is then taken out of commission by a deadly prank). Due to their chastity vows, the Hunters refuse to travel or socialize with a man; hence Percy is not allowed to attend. He catches up with Nico before departing, promising to keep Bianca safe during the mission. He successfully escapes camp on Blackjack and joins the party, but he is nearly stopped by Mr. D atop the Chrysler Building, who only decides to let him go because there is a good probability Percy will be murdered while on the mission.

Percy spots Dr. Thorn entering the National Museum of Natural History when he arrives in Washington, D.C., and pursues him using Annabeth's invisibility hat. There's Luke Castellan and a big man named the General, and they've summoned spartoi, zombie skeleton warriors, to hunt down the official quest party, who are nearby at the National Air and Space Museum. Percy tries to warn the party, but the Nemean lion attacks them before they can flee. They battle the lion and kill it, with Percy claiming the lion's impenetrable pelt as a prize.

The quest group and Percy leave and, with the help of Apollo (posing as a homeless man), freighthop to Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Grover detects the presence of the god Pan in Cloudcroft, who sent the Erymanthian boar to aid them in their escape from the spartoi. The boar transports them to Gila Claw, Arizona, where the "Junkyard of the Gods" is located. The trio enters the junkyard after a brief interaction with Ares and Aphrodite (in which Aphrodite examines Percy's infatuation with Annabeth while also warning him of the hazards of the Junkyard), where Bianca attempts to steal a cursed sculpture for Nico. Her thievery wakes a Talos prototype, and she sacrifices her life to bring it down.

After stealing boats, the remaining quest members sulk their way to Hoover Dam. Percy encounters Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a mortal girl who can see through the Mist, and the quest members narrowly escape the spartoi once more with the assistance of Athena (posing as a tour guide), landing in San Francisco on the backs of two bronze winged angels.

Percy meets Nereus when he reaches there and here he learns that Artemis is looking for Bessie because it is the monster, the ophiotaurus he rescued back at camp with blackjack, a creature whose entrails may be burnt to gain the ability to destroy Olympus. Using this knowledge, Luke tries to persuade Thalia to join the Titans, despite the fact that she is almost 16 and looks to be the hero of the Great Prophecy, and she reluctantly rejects it.

Grover returns to Camp Half-Blood with Bessie after the last confrontation with Dr. Thorn, in which Percy begs Mr. D to help him kill the manticore, and Percy offers the Nemean lion's pelt to Poseidon in thanks for their safe travel. Frederick Chase, Annabeth's father, and an aircraft pilot is sought by Zo, Percy, and Thalia in the hopes that he can assist them in reaching their last destination: Mount Tamalpais, the current location of the Titans' citadel on Mount Othrys.

They proceed to the Garden of the Hesperides in Professor Chase's automobile. After confronting the Hesperides (of whom Zo is an exiled member owing to her aiding Heracles in stealing a golden apple during the Labors of Hercules by handing him Riptide, Percy's sword), Zo is injured by the dragon Ladon's venom as they pass through. The gang discovers Artemis performing his duty where the Titan Atlas formerly held up the sky. Percy momentarily lifts the sky's weight from Artemis so she may battle the Titan after witnessing Annabeth tied up and taken prisoner by Luke, and realizing that "the General" is not only Atlas but also Zo's father.

Artemis confronts Atlas and, with Percy's aid, is able to re-trap him under the sky, but not before injuring Zo by shoving her down a cliff. Thalia fights Luke and is supposedly killed as she kicks him down the side of the mountain. They escape and proceed to a nearby airport in Artemis' silver chariot with the assistance of Mr. Chase, who comes in a biplane equipped with machine guns that fire heavenly bronze bullets. Shortly after landing, Zo succumbs to her injuries, and Artemis creates a new constellation in her honor. After that, the remainder of the group heads to Mount Olympus.

Artemis ultimately persuades the gods to intervene against the Titans during the winter solstice assembly. Artemis asks Thalia to become an immortal Huntress and she accepts, delaying the Great Prophecy by keeping her 15 years old for the remainder of her life. Percy's father, Poseidon, informs him that Luke has miraculously survived. Percy is warned by Athena to keep away from Annabeth. Returning to Camp Half-Blood, the two are dubious and concerned about the future.

However, before Percy can return home, he is obliged to explain Bianca's death to Nico. Nico instantly accuses Percy, claiming that he promised to keep her safe. When a swarm of spartoi arrives to attack Percy, Nico exiles them to the underworld, revealing himself to be Hades' son. Shortly afterward, Nico flees camp, and Percy reveals the truth about Nico's origins to Annabeth and Grover. They agree to keep the truth hidden from everyone else, especially the Titans' army because it implies that the Great Prophecy now has two prospective heroes.

Summary

Percy Jackson and the Olympians opens with Percy dreaming about Grover being pursued by a monster. He wakes up on the last day of his seventh-grade year at Meriwether College Prep, a calm year. There, he became friends with Tyson, a homeless youngster who the school adopted as a charity project. Percy is ambushed by a band of Laestrygonians during a game of dodgeball in gym class but is saved by Tyson and Annabeth, who were on their way back to Camp Half-Blood after having visions about the camp being in danger. The three go to Long Island in a magical cab piloted by the Graeae. They arrive at the camp to find a group of campers led by Clarisse LaRue fighting two Colchis bulls.

Tyson is given permission to cross the camp's perimeter once more in order to save Percy. He is shown to be a newborn Cyclops and Percy's half-brother, as he is also a Poseidon's offspring. By poisoning the demigod Thalia's tree, some unknown foe has undermined the defensive walls of Camp Half-Blood, leaving the campers susceptible to future monster attacks. Chiron, the camp counselor, is sacked after being suspected of poisoning the tree.

Chiron observes before departing that only the Golden Fleece has the power to save the camp. Stymphalian birds attack during the chariot races shortly after, but Percy and Annabeth use Chiron's boombox and Dean Martin's "Volare" to distract them, allowing the Apollo campers to fire them down.

Tantalus is appointed as the new camp counselor due to his charm and sword skills. Tantalus sends Clarisse LaRue to retrieve the Golden Fleece as a prize for winning the chariot race and bans anyone else from leaving camp without his permission. Percy leaves camp with Annabeth and Tyson to find Grover after speaking with the deity Hermes concerning the fate of his son Luke. The trio arrives at the Princess Andromeda, a cruise ship populated with monsters and demigods that have united with the giant Kronos, with the assistance of a hippocampus named Rainbow.

They are apprehended aboard the ship by Luke Castellan, who reveals that he is planning to resurrect Kronos. Annabeth, Thalia, and Luke narrowly escape on an emergency lifeboat and seek refuge in a hideaway they made as youngsters. A hydra tracks them down and attacks them, but Clarisse and her ship, the CSS Birmingham, save them.

Clarisse's search and travel to the Bermuda Triangle are joined by Annabeth, Percy, and Tyson (also known as Sea of Monsters). The ship tries to cross between Charybdis and Scylla in order to reach the Sea of Monsters, but they attack and destroy it. Percy and Annabeth board a lifeboat and travel to the nearest island when Clarisse becomes separated from the others and Tyson appears to be dead in the explosion. After passing across the narrow strait guarded by Charybdis and Scylla, the two arrive on the island of the witch-queen Circe, much as Odysseus did.

When they realize Circe has transformed scores of men into guinea pigs, they board the legendary pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge, which Percy is able to command using just his abilities, leaving legendary Blackbeard along with his crew to deal with Circe. Percy and Annabeth pass by the Sirens, and Annabeth confides in Percy about her fears.

They arrive at the island of Percy's half-brother, the Cyclops Polyphemus, to find that he has taken Clarisse captive. Percy and Annabeth encounter Grover, who is posing as a female Cyclops to deceive Polyphemus into not eating him, before embarking on their trek to the island's heart. Tyson arrives to assist as well, having been rescued from the wreckage of the Birmingham by Rainbow. They locate the Golden Fleece, but the Queen Anne's Revenge is destroyed by Polyphemus, forcing the gang to flee on Rainbow and a few other ships.

Percy discovers in Miami that Clarisse must return to camp alone in order to fulfill her prophecy, but he and the others are taken by Luke. Percy is kidnapped and taken onboard the Princess Andromeda, where he makes contact with Camp Half-Blood through the goddess Iris and charms Luke into confessing, exonerating Chiron, and restoring him to his rightful place. Luke is outraged and fights Percy, but Chiron and the Party Ponies arrive to save them, and Chiron reveals that he is distrusted since Kronos is his father.

Thalia's pine tree is healed once the Golden Fleece is placed on it. After clearing the difficulty of Polyphemus drawing in searchers through the Golden Fleece, Grover is granted a furlough on his solo mission to discover the deity, Pan. Percy and Annabeth win a second chariot race with the assistance of Tyson, who departs after accepting an offer from Poseidon to work in the god's underwater Cyclops forges. The Fleece's enchantment, however, is too powerful, and it resurrects Thalia, offering another prospective demigod for the Great Prophecy, which Percy learns was Kronos' goal all along.

Summary

Percy goes home for summer break, after which he and his mortal mother Sally Jackson head to their Montauk property to avoid Percy's stepfather, Gabe Ugliano. However, the journey is cut short due to a series of traumatic experiences, such as being assaulted by the Minotaur, which results in his mother's death. Percy finds himself in Camp Half-Blood, a training facility for demigods such as himself.

He learns he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. Percy also discovers that his best friend, Grover Underwood, is a satyr, a woodland spirit with a human torso, horns, and a goat's lower body and that Zeus accuses him of stealing his Master Bolt, the universe's most powerful weapon. Percy sets out to reclaim the lightning bolt from Hades, who is accused of being the true thief, in order to clear his name, prevent the world from another battle between the Olympian gods, and maybe even save his mother.

As a result, Percy, Grover, and Annabeth Chase, an Athena's daughter, embark on a voyage to the underworld, encountering several mythical creatures along the way. After confronting an innocent Hades, they discover that their friend Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, is the true thief who stole the Lightning Bolt (also known as the Master Bolt) in order to give Kronos (also spelled Cronos or Cronus), the defeated King of the Titans from the past, a chance to rise again, and that Ares, the Greek god of war, assisted in covering up Luke's crime in order to spark an Olympian war.
