Product Information

We won’t give anything away about the end of the book, but just know that it was an emotional roller coaster for some of our all-time favorite characters. The most interesting thing about this last book is that while a few demigods seemed to have gotten their stories wrapped up with a nice little bow, a few more of them appear to have only just begun experiencing a new chapter in their lives. Perhaps this means their stories are not over, and we’ll be seeing our friends again. One can always hope. After destroying Cacus, Percy and Annabeth are sent to Paris for their date, as part of Percy's deal with Hermes.

Agamethus leads them to the Waystation, where the blemmyae are destroyed by Hemithea and the Waystation's crossbow turrets Both made a selfish grab for power, dividing their people when they should have been united against a common foe ( Gaea, Thrawn).

Death Trance: In The Mark of Athena, when he is sealed in the Bronze Jar, Nico shows that he can go into a hibernation called a Death Trance using the seeds of Persephone, which can only be eaten by a child of Hades. The Death Trance induces him to virtually die for a day, meaning he consumes significantly less oxygen and needs no other sustenance. Rachel Elizabeth Dare mentions him when she discovered that the Triumvirate Holdings were the ones who supplied Octavian with those siege weapons, Apollo recalls that he dealt with the last triumvirate that included his son, the original Octavian.

Instead, Nico found his half-sister Hazel Levesque in the Fields of Asphodel and sensed she was a child of the Underworld, as, unlike the other souls in Asphodel, she remembered her life. Nico felt that she deserved another chance at being a hero and brought her to the overworld ( Gaea said that he had selfish reasons for doing this, but it is unknown if he had any or for what selfish reasons did he do it for, maybe because he wanted a chance at having a sister again). Hades gives Nico directions on how to find Camp Jupiter, explains why the Olympians have kept both camps separated for centuries, and forbids him from telling anybody about it, as the time isn't right. Hades also advises his son to introduce himself to the Romans as a son of Pluto, telling Nico that it is important for him to make this connection.
