Publisher's summary

Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy - after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera - it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.

And that’s only one of her worries. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find - and close - the Doors of Death. What more does Athena want from her?

Annabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader - but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side.

Featured Article: Percy Jackson—A Percy Jackson and the Olympians Character Guide


Percy Jackson is the eponymous hero of the best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. He made his debut in The Lightning Thief at just 12 years old, where he discovered the shocking truth about his parentage: He is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the god Poseidon. Beyond his own series, he was one of the protagonists in the Heroes of Olympus series and has since appeared in other spin-off novels and series from Riordan.

Best book yet.

Sometimes some of Riordan's books have too similar format, and this one still kind of does, but this story is so different overall that it's really one of the best.

Joshua Swanson kills it.

I read this book around the end of my Junior year of high school. Now that it's been about 7 years it was a whole new experience to me. Joshua really brings the characters to life, and I won't un-hear his version of Leo's voice ever again.

The Mark of Athena. Hero's Serirs

As good as the other books. I can't wait to read/listen to the next book. The narration could be better. His voice is boring at time as if he really isn't into the storyline.

AMAZING!

When I read this book it was amazing! I liked the characters, the setting, and the villains. When I listened to this on Audible the voices of the eidolons creeped me out and the voice of Gea too. I say this book is amazing on Audible, I encourage you guys to try it out and let me know what YOU think.
