After defeating Gaea in the second giant war, Perseus Jackson goes missing- yes, again. Needless to say, both camps launch into mass hysteria, wondering where their hero went, and why. Countless search camps are organized, but all return empty handed, coupled with broken hearts and clouded minds. Then, three months later, the impossible happens: Percy Jackson returns. The Savior of Olympus reappears at Camp Half-Blood, with blood on his face and horror in his eyes. This is the new Percy Jackson. The seven desperately want to uncover the past, but Percy remains tight-lipped and solid. There was a change in the son of Poseidon, a change that the campers weren't particularly fond of. As time ticks onwards, the seven and Nick begin connect the dots, begin to step back and see the larger picture- Oh, how they wished they could return to the bliss of ignorance.
