The Forsaken Tide

"I didn't want forever. I just wanted you."

After the giant Gaea is lulled back to her eternal slumber, the Seven return to Olympus expecting peace. Instead, they are met with the ultimate choice: Ascension. One by one, the heroes of the prophecy accept the nectar of immortality, leaving their mortal lives behind for the golden halls of the gods.

Even Annabeth Chase-the girl Percy Jackson walked through Hell for-takes the hand of her mother and steps into the stars, leaving Percy standing alone on Half-Blood Hill.

But Zeus does not reward Percy's refusal. He fears it.

Branded a "variable" and a threat to the throne, Percy is stripped of his heritage, exiled from the only world he has ever known, and left to rot in the shadows. But the Void has other plans. Rescued by Chaos and forged in the silent reaches of the universe, Percy begins a training regime that pushes him past every physical and spiritual barrier. He isn't just a hero anymore; he is a force of nature-the Tide Untethered.

As an ancient darkness begins to stir that even the gods cannot hold back, a new prophecy emerges-one that binds the exiled son of the sea to the one goddess who understands the weight of a vow: Artemis.

The Hunt is on. But this time, the Hunter might be the one who is found.
