The Titans Curse by Rick Riordan


When Percy receives a distress call from his best friend, Grover, he prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and... a ride from his mom. When they arrive, the demigods find more than just mythological monsters awaiting them. Grover has made an important discovery: two new half-bloods, Bianca and Nico, whose parentage is unknown.

But before Percy and his friends can escort Bianca and Nico safely back to camp Half-Blood, they are intercepted by the manticore and an impulsive move by Percy causes Annabeth to go missing.

And she's not the only one: the goddess Artemis is believed to have been kidnapped. But who is powerful enough to kidnap a goddess? It's up to Percy and his friends to find out. They must rescue Artemis before the Winter Solstice; when her influence on the Olympian Council could swing an important vote on the war with the Titans. But first Percy will have to solve the mystery of a rare monster that Artemis was hunting when she disappeared- a monster rumored to be so powerful it could destroy Olympus forever.
