The Titan's Curse

The Titan's Curse is the third edition of the PJO series. The war with Kronos is drawing steadily near as he rises from the golden coffin, taking on Luke Castellan's form. Grover Underwood, a satyr, senses that there are two powerful demigods in Westover School-children of Hades, Bianca and Nico di Angelo. Percy finds himself in a fight with a manticore, and the Hunters of Artemis rush in to help. Bianca di Angelo soon joins the Hunt, leaving young Nico devastated and angry. Artemis is soon caught by a strange monster while trying to save the Ophiotaurus. A prophecy says that five people, Hunters and campers combined, must save the goddess:

Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,

One shall be lost in the land without rain,

The bane of Olympus shows the trail,

Campers and Hunters combined prevail,

The Titan's curse must one withstand,

And one shall perish by a parent's hand.

Zoë Nightshade, the lead Hunter, dies at the hand of her father, Atlas. Percy has to withstand the Curse of Kronos, Thalia Grace soon becomes a Hunter despite her quarrel with Zoë, Bianca dies while trying to save Percy, and Grover thinks the satyr god of the wilderness, Pan, is near. How can everyone get along with that?
