史上最艱難的尋找任務，決定整個世界的命運！
失去記憶、獨行生活了數個月的波西，被蛇髮女怪一路追殺來到朱比特營，這個營區對波西而言既陌生又熟悉，唯一清楚留存在他腦海的只有「安娜貝斯」！
不久，天后朱諾與戰神馬爾斯先後現身朱比特營，帶來最新的神諭：前往北方，解救死亡之神，並在幸運節前完成使命。波西與朱比特營的海柔、法蘭克奉命接下尋找任務，然而這三個混血人不是失去記憶，就是對自己的「能力」感到害怕或根本不知道自己的「天賦」在哪裡，這支被看衰的團隊真的能夠完成任務、成功守護朱比特營嗎？
Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn't know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy managed to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him.
Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn't do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her "gift" for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn't say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk.
Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn't see it. He doesn't even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archery — although not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completely — enough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart.
Beginning at the "other" camp for half-bloods and extending as far north as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment in the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all of whom are destined to play a part in the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.
