The Lovereading comment:
An incredible, brand new series from the bestselling creator of Percy Jackson. Whether you’ve devoured the Percy Jackson books or loved the hugely successful film in 2010 you’ll love this amazing new series about a new generation of demigods and their training at Camp Half Blood. Old enemies awaken as Camp Half Blood’s new arrivals prepare for war. But rumours of a terrible curse – and a missing hero – are flying around Camp and new recruits Jason, Piper and Leo are the chosen ones to embark on a terrifying new quest, which they must complete in just four days. Can the trio succeed on this deadly mission – and what must they sacrifice in order to survive?
