August 1. The Feast of Spes. The day the Giants fell, the day Gaea was defeated, the day the Prophecy of Seven reached an end.
But the same grey, chilly day the next year, another enemy has marked as his return, the beginning of his apocalypse.
On that day, Percy wakes up with a terrible headache. His room's been thrashed, his clothes ripped and dirty, his cheek bruised, his memory blank. A look outside his dorm window reveals a barren dried out war zone that used to be New Rome only several hours ago.
The air has tension strung into every breath Percy takes, as if reality is on the verge of collapsing.
A vile laughter is echoing through the wind, but all Percy knows is that something major has happened, something that he doesn't remember... But all the answers are locked inside his own mind, and only he can unearth the key.
All he finds in his pocket is Riptide and a crumpled piece of paper that says "IVLIVS."
One clue leads to another as the heroes try to spiderweb their way through this blind quest. Adventure takes them all into a spiraling mystery of bloodlust, love, and adrenaline while deadly secrets are clawing their way into light.
This unknown force is the most dangerous creature they've ever faced.
It's only a matter of time until the very idea of reality collapses, until the entire world is lost, until the enemy devours existence.
*All rights to Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, setting, and characters go to Rick Riordan!! I only own the plot.
