Summary Of The Titan's Curse By Rick Riordan

In Rick Riordan’s The Titan’s Curse, Percy Jackson is back one year older with much more to prove. In this section of the saga, Percy, accompanied by his best friend at Camp Half-Blood, Annabeth, and the newly reincarnated daughter of Zeus, Thalia, set off to locate their satyr friend Grover, who believes he has found two more half-bloods that he must protect, twins named Nico and Bianca. Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia arrive and get into a battle with a monster named “The General”. The Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis, shows up with her ‘Hunters’ to try and help defeat The General, and in the heat of the battle, Artemis and Annabeth fall off of a cliff and The General disappears. Percy, Thalia, Grover, and the Hunters are able to hitch a ride back to camp with Artemis’ twin brother, Apollo, the Greek god of the sun. Once arriving Artemis convinces Bianca to swear her life to becoming a Hunter.

The Hunters and Grover are then sent on a quest to find Annabeth and Artemis.

They must find Artemis before the winter solstice because the Olympians have a Council meeting and she is always one who is a voice of reason. Percy sneaks along the trip while riding a Pegasus sent to him by Poseidon named Blackjack. He is dropped off with the rest of the gang in Washington, D.C., and reveals that he snuck along. The hunters are angry with him, but accept his help and they travel west to San Francisco, defeating a few monsters along the way, but losing Bianca to death in battle. The group gets stranded in San Francisco with no ride and go to Annabeth’s father’s house to get his car to drive to Mount Othrys to save Artemis and

Annabeth.
They arrive to see Annabeth tricked by the titan Atlas into holding the world up. They also see Luke and the General. Luke tries to convince Thalia to join the titan’s uprising, but she hesitantly says no. A battle ensues after Percy takes the weight of the world from Annabeth and all hope is nearly lost for the half-blood heroes until Annabeth’s father comes in with his WWII fighter jet and guns down a majority of the evil side and causes a distracted rage which allows Percy to trick Atlas into taking back the weight of the world. Unfortunately, Zoe Nightshade, Artemis’ lead Hunter, is fatally wounded.
The heroes make it back to Mount Olympus just in time to catch the conclusion of the winter solstice Council meeting. After debate, the Olympians decide the young half-bloods are worthy of staying alive, and there is a celebration thrown for them on Mount Olympus for all they did to help save Olympus. The campers then return to camp Half-Blood. Percy must give Nico the news about his sisters’ fatality, and when Nico storms off in hatred at Percy, he throws down his Hades figurine, making it a tell-tale sign that Nico is a son of Hades.
