The Son of Neptune is the action-packed second instalment in Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus series — a thrilling spin-off from the hugely popular Percy Jackson and the Olympians books.
This time, Percy Jackson wakes up with no memory of his past, except for one name: Annabeth. Right off the bat, he’s thrown into danger as he battles two snake-haired monsters (who stubbornly refuse to stay dead). But that’s only the beginning. Percy soon arrives at Camp Jupiter, the Roman counterpart to Camp Half-Blood, filled with new faces, ancient traditions, and no recollection of how he got there.
Teaming up with two unlikely demigods — Frank Zhang, a clumsy but courageous warrior with a mysterious family secret, and Hazel Levesque, a girl with a tragic past and a second chance at life — Percy must help fulfil the Prophecy of Seven. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to free the Greek god of death, Thanatos, and face challenges that threaten not just Camp Jupiter, but the fate of the entire world.
With Riordan’s trademark humour, sharp dialogue, and heart-pounding mythology-based adventures, The Son of Neptune is a must-read for fans of modern fantasy and anyone who loves a good, fast-paced quest.
