I (Percy) set Nico on guard duty with Beckendorf and the Stoll brothers, figuring he’d be safely out of the way….”What’s happening?” Nico demanded, trying to climb up next to me.

According to Festus, our flying table, Buford, made it back safely while we were in Charleston, so those eagles didn’t get him. Unfortunately, he lost the laundry bag with your pants.””Dang it!” Frank Barked, which...

Bianca, camp is cool! It’s got a pegasus stable and a sword-fighting arena and… I mean, what do you get by joining the Hunters?”To begin with,” Zoe said, “immortality.”I stared at her, then at Artemis....

My only thought was to keep him away from Annabeth.

I still don’t get it” Coach Hedge muttered as they roamed the centre aisle. “They named a whole town after Leo’s table?””I think the town was here first, Coach” Nico said.

Un minuto más tarde, Annabeth puso el pie sobre un trozo de musgo y resbaló. Por suerte, consiguió afirmar el pie un poco más abajo. Por desgracia, fue en mi cara.

Maybe that’s why he had started to fear suffocation. It wasn’t so much drowning in the earth or sea but the feeling that he was sinking into too many expectations, literally getting in over his...

I looked at the campers, all of them grim and determined. I tried not to feel like this was the last time I’d ever see them all together. ‘You’re the greatest heroes of this millennium,’...

Hercules,huh? Percy frowned. “That guy was like the Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn–there he is.

Those five nuts right there.”Which one is me?” I asked.The little deformed one,” Zoe suggested.Oh, shut up.

Oh, come on!’ Percy complained. ‘I get a little nosebleed and I wake up the entire earth? That’s not fair!

You Titans are about as bright as my gym socks.

Percy,” Apollo said, “I wouldn’t worry too much. The last Great Prophecy about you took almost seventy years to complete. This one may not even happen in your lifetime.”I thought about the lines Rachel had...

You do know how to play pinochle?” Mr. D eyed me suspiciously.”I’m afraid not,” I said.”I’m afraid not, sir,” he said.”Well,” he told me, “it is, along with gladiator fighting and Pac-Man, one of the...

There’s no point in defending camp if you guys die. All our friends are here.

Nico clenched his sword. Sharing his secret crush hadn’t been the worst of it. Eventually he might have done that, in his own time, in his own way. But being forced to talk about Percy,...

I should throw you off this building minus the flying horse and see how heroic you sound on the way down.

El problema principal de los fantasmas es que la mayoría han perdido sus voces. En los campos de Asfódelos, millones de fantasmas deambulan sin rumbo tratando de recordar quiénes eran. ,Sabes por qué acaban así?...

About five meters ahead, Nico was swinging his black sword with one hand, holding the scepter of Diocletian aloft with the other. He kept shouting orders at the legionnaires, but they paid him no attention.Of...

As for my brothers,” Zeus said, “we are thankful”-he cleared his throat like the words were hard to get out-“erm, thankful for the aid of Hades.”The lord of the dead nodded. He had a smug...

I looked down at my clothes. They were slashed to pieces and full of bullet holes, but I was fine. Not a mark on me.Nico’s mouth hung open. “You just . . . with a...

I sat up in bed. “What did he say?”Tyson groaned, still half asleep. He was lying facedown on the couch, his feet so far over the edge they were in the bathroom. “The happy man...
