An A-Z of the worlds of Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess

THE ORIGINAL HERO. A BRAND-NEW ADVENTURE. 
 
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times &ndash; battling monsters, Titans, even death himself &ndash; so graduating high school should be a breeze, right? 
 
Wrong. Percy needs three recommendation letters from the gods before his final year in high school comes to an end. And one thing Percy knows, the gods on Mount Olympus don&rsquo;t do anything for free. 
 
To secure his second letter, Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover agree to a new quest &ndash; pet-sitting for the goddess Hecate while she&rsquo;s away over Halloween. They just need to follow her simple rules: 
<ol><li>Look after the pets like their lives depend on it (because they do)</li><li>Don&rsquo;t touch anything &ndash; especially Hecate&rsquo;s magic potions!</li><li>See points 1 and 2</li></ol> 
 
But when Grover&rsquo;s curiosity gets the better of him, the trio find themselves with a giant goat, a destroyed house, and Hecate&rsquo;s (terrifying and potentially deadly) pets on the loose in New York City. 
 
Now the trio have twenty-four hours to find the pets and restore the mansion to order &ndash; or face the full fury of Hecate and her horrifying three-heads.

Rick Riordan (he/him), dubbed 'storyteller of the gods' by Publishers Weekly, is the author of five #1 New York Times best-selling middle grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world, including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, now a live-action series on Disney+. Rick is also the publisher of an imprint at Disney-Hyperion, Rick Riordan Presents, dedicated to finding other authors of highly entertaining fiction based on world cultures and mythologies. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons. Follow him on Twitter at @RickRiordan.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods

THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 
 
The original hero. A brand-new adventure. 
 
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times - battling monsters, Titans, even giants - but these days the modern-day son of Poseidon is hoping for a regular final year at school. 
 
Too bad the Greek gods have other plans, and three new quests for Percy to complete. 
 
First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do not take kindly to newbies. 
 
Can Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover find the chalice before it falls into the wrong hands? And even if they do, will they be able to resist its awesome power. . .? 
 
Readers new to the Percy Jackson universe and long-time fans will love this epic adventure - full of legendary heroes, mythical creatures, ancient Greek gods and enduring friendship - from the global bestseller Rick Riordan.

FROM THE WORLD OF PERCY JACKSON 
 
The fourth novel in Rick Riordan’s best-selling Heroes of Olympus series – now as a graphic novel! 
 
Lost in the depths of the Underworld, Percy and Annabeth’s lives rest in the hands of their friends and fellow demigods – Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank. 
 
Unsure if they’ll ever see Percy and Annabeth again, the five must put aside their grief and find the mortal side of the Doors of Death to follow Percy’s final instructions. The doors must be sealed to stop the giants from wakening Gaea, the primordial goddess. But between them and the door lies a vicious army intent on raising the goddess. 
 
If the demigods can fight their way through the army to seal the door – and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades long enough – the seven might just be able to stop the destruction of Camp Half-Blood. . . and the whole world with it! 
 
From the author of the worldwide best-selling Percy Jackson series, now a brand-new live action Disney + show.
