The House of Hades
Rick Riordan
Fiction R4792He4
Hazel stands at a crossroads. She and the remaining crew of the Argo II
could return home with the Athena Parthenos statue and try to stop Camp
Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter from going to war. Or they could continue
their quest to find the House of Hades, where they might be able to open
the Doors of Death, rescue their friends Percy and Annabeth from
Tartarus, and prevent monsters from being reincarnated in the mortal
world. Whichever road they decide to take, they have to hurry, because
time is running out. Gaea, the bloodthirsty Earth Mother, has set the
date of August 1 for her rise to power.
Annabeth and Percy are
overwhelmed. How will the two of them make it through Tartarus?
Starving, thirsty, and in pain, they are barely able to stumble on in
the dark and poisonous landscape that holds new horrors at every turn.
They have no way of locating the Doors of Death. Even if they did, a
legion of Gaea's strongest monsters guards the Doors on the Tartarus
side. Annabeth and Percy can't exactly launch a frontal assault.
Despite
the terrible odds, Hazel, Annabeth, Percy, and the other demigods of
the prophecy know that there is only one choice: to attempt the
impossible. Not just for themselves, but for everyone they love. Even
though love can be the riskiest choice of all.
