Jason Grace wakes up on a school bus with no memory of his past, clutching the hand of a girl he doesn't recognize. He should remember Piper and Leo, his supposed best friends, but his mind is completely blank. When monsters attack their field trip, Jason discovers he can control lightning and fly. He learns he's a Roman demigod who somehow ended up at Camp Half-Blood, the Greek training ground. Meanwhile, Percy Jackson has vanished from the Greek camp. As Jason joins quests with new allies, he uncovers a dangerous truth. Gaea, the primordial earth goddess, is stirring from her ancient slumber. She's turning Greek and Roman demigods against each other, feeding on their conflict to gain strength for her awakening. The two camps must overcome centuries of rivalry and suspicion. Seven heroes from both sides will determine whether the mortal world survives Gaea's return to power.
