Product Information

After escaping Skeleton Warriors in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, Zoe, Percy, Thalia, Bianca, and Grover seek help from the Erymanthian Boar. Later, Percy meets with Aphrodite and confronts Ares. Leo and Jason chase down the Kerkopes and apprehend them. They retrieve their stolen supplies - as well as a book stolen from Triptolemus - and Leo makes the Kerkopes promise to harass the Romans in New York. Jason, Piper, Leo, and Hedge confront Lycaon. They are saved by the Hunters of Artemis, who then escort them to the palace of Aeolus. Minotaur's Horn: Percy obtained this as a spoil of war when he killed the Minotaur in The Lightning Thief. As one of his few possessions when he first arrived a Camp Half-Blood, the horn became a prized trophy and Percy eventually hung it on the wall of Poseidon's Cabin after being claimed by the god where it remains. In The Last Olympian, Percy chooses not to claim the two horns that he'd cut off of the reformed Minotaur and lets them presumably fall off of the Williamsburg Bridge when it collapses.

It is eventually revealed that Jason and Percy were exchanged by Hera/ Juno to unite the demigods of Greece and Rome against Gaea and the Gigantes as well as other creatures. Perfect Bearings: Percy always know his exact nautical coordinates wherever he is, which allow him to easily navigate his way at sea. Clarisse La Rue and Percy have a rough relationship. Clarisse dislikes Percy at first for dousing her in toilet water when he first arrives at camp (even though she was trying to dunk his head in the toilet). She later learns that Percy beat her father, causing her and her cabin to dislike Percy even more. They manage to grow a bit closer in The Sea of Monsters when Percy manages to free her from Polyphemus (the two were even able to work well together) and sends her ahead with the Golden Fleece, a gesture she greatly appreciates.Percy and the Greek demigod forces successfully fend off the Titan Army from Manhattan and save Olympus. Percy tells Nico to lead the others to the Doors of Death on the mortal side, located in the House of Hades. This is the one where Zeus, God of the Sky, thinks I've stolen his lightning bolt - and making Zeus angry is a very bad idea . . . Witty and inspired. Gripping, touching and deliciously satirical...This is most likely to succeed Rowling. Puffin is on to a winner' - Amanda Craig , The Times

At the beginning of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy kiss after so long apart but then Annabeth judo-flips Percy for being gone for so long, the end of the book, they fall into Tartarus holding hands when Percy swears that he will never let her go again.Jason...Percy couldn't go very far in this camp without hearing that name. The way you talk about him...Percy said, were you two a couple? He’s actually pretty intelligent, but he acts so dumb sometimes. I wonder if he does it just to annoy me. The guy has a lot going for him. He’s courageous. He’s got a sense of humor. After that, Percy and Leo were friends with no problems and they defeated Nike with the help of Frank and Hazel. Leo became sarcastic and joking with Percy, calling him "Water Boy", which he told him not to call him, then calling him "Aquaman", which he hated more. Leo was also miffed and asked him why he had to destroy the plumbing when he did. Percy also joked that if a statue engulfed people in fire, he should send Leo, and Leo jokingly said he loved him too. Leo was also grateful when Percy got everyone in the crew, including him, gelato, and said that it made his whole day better. Leo also joked about how Percy's zodiac sign was Leo's name. However, Leo kept his suicidal plan to sacrifice himself from Percy. Percy was devastated when Leo died, and was initially angry at Hazel and Frank, but his anger subsided when they cried and agreed that it was a plan Leo Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services.

Twelfth Legion's Eagle: Percy seized the Eagle from the undead army of the frozen Roman Camp on the Hubbard Glacier during The Son of Neptune. He later used it during the battle at Camp Jupiter, where he used its lightning to destroy hundreds of monsters before passing it to Dakota. Thalia Grace, Percy, and Annabeth heard from Grover that two half-blood siblings, Bianca and Nico di Angelo, had been found in a middle school. The three immediately set out to find him. Grover had been waiting for their appearance. He explained that he found the two half-bloods and that they were enjoying a function in the gym. He was very nervous and embarrassed as the only person he could dance with was Annabeth, who had recently grown taller than him so he looked quite stupid "dancing" with her. Percy, having been forced to dance to blend in with the crowd sees the two half-bloods following Dr. Thorn, a manticore which was not a very good sign. Percy felt disgusted by the fact that Thalia was always powerful and a hero at everything she'd done and so thought it was now his time to shine and ran to save the di Angelos from danger alone, though his plan did not work out as planned and he, Grover and Annabeth were nearly killed by Dr. Thorn.

Meet the blogger: Galina Varese

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. I never asked to be the son of a Greek god. I was just a normal kid, going to school, playing basketball, skateboarding. The usual. Until I accidentally vaporized my maths teacher. That's when things started really going wrong. Now I spend my time fighting with swords, battling monsters with my friends and generally trying to stay alive.

At first Zoë did not like Percy, but then she came to respect him after it was his plan that helped defeat the Nemean Lion, even giving Percy the pelt after the fight even though it was Zoe who finally killed the lion. During the quest, Percy learned more about Zoë's past while having dreams, learning that Hercules had betrayed her after she gave him Riptide. He realized why Zoë seemed to resent all heroes, but in the end, she told Percy that he was nothing like Hercules, and that she was wrong about men. Percy even comes to appreciate a lot of Zoë's good qualities as they spend more time together. Before Zoë's death at the hands of her father, she compliments Percy by saying that he is nothing like Hercules (who betrayed her), and deserved Riptide. After she died at the top of Mount Othrys, Artemis transformed her into a constellation named 'the Huntress' after her death by Artemis, as Zoë is part of the Hunt. They board the Bifrost and meet Heimdall, who tells them about the giants' army and Utgard-Loki's message to come meet them Finally, just as sunset is fading, Percy and Clarisse bring the chariot to Ares' Temple on the Intrepid, an aircraft carrier. Percy promises Clarisse that he will not tell anybody about her worst fear. He also tells her that in the vision that Phobos showed him-of what he feared most-Clarisse was included as one of Percy's friends. Reyna arrives in Greece; she, Nico di Angelo, Gleeson Hedge, and the Seven discuss the war. They form a mutual hatred of Octavian, upon learning that he defied her decree. Daedalus' Wings: They were stolen in a skirmish in the center of the Labyrinth. Percy later threw the wings in a trash, as they were too damaged for further use.The next morning, Piper, Annabeth, and Percy saw snake people who he suspected to be dracanae. But he realized they were different since they looked more human. He welcomed them aboard the ship, and one snake man introduced himself as Kekrops, the first king of Athens. When he explained he was a Geminus, Percy thought it was like a zodiac sign and said he was a Leo, but Leo corrected him: He was a Leo, Percy was a Percy. Hazel chided them and called them idiots. The group discussed Octavian and the giants, and as Kekrops said he was their best bet to make it to the Acropolis, Percy pointed out it might be a trap. After Piper charmspoke the king, he revealed his plans and Percy decided to go with Annabeth underground with Piper, since his scent would be difficult to discern. Percy shook Jason's hand and bid him goodbye until they meet again at the Acropolis.
