Heroes of Olympus The Son of Neptune

Like I said in my previous post about this about this series that Percy Jackson is missing. He has been wandering around in the wilderness and led to the wolf house where he was trained for Camp Jupiter. Camp Jupiter is the Roman camp version of Camp Half-Blood. He was led down to the camp and fighting monsters along the way. He rescues a Goddess aka Hera that gives him great recognition at camp. He can't remember anything just like Jason. He starts to learn the ways of how the Romans train and it's very different from Camp Half-Blood. I find it quite interesting. The gap between life and death has increased. The door of death have been opened too far. So people that are supposed to die don't die. This isn't good if no one dies the cycle of balance gets messed up and the harder it is to repair the damage.
       Hazel is the daughter of Pluto aka Hades. She has this curse that she can find hidden gems but they are cursed. She is supposed to be dead. She went to rescue her mother form Gaia on an island. They both sacrificed their lives to keep Gaia from rising. Frank is the son of Mars aka Ares. He is very special with tons of gifts. He was supposed to die when he was a baby but his mom saved him. He has a curse too. If this stick of wood gets burned he dies. Percy, Hazel, and Frank are sent on a mission to rescue Thantos the guard of the underworld. There are a ton of monsters on their way to fight Camp Jupiter. They encounter the goddess Iris (Goddess of Rainbows), some poisonous snakes, and the Amazons warriors who use the Amazon company as a cover. Hazel also encounters her dream horse who takes them on a fast chariot ride. They travel to Portland to see a seer and rescue a harpy that is very smart and has a huge impact on their journey. They unintentionally encounter Frank's granny's house. Frank is actually related to Percy. His ancestor was Poseidon's nephew. He has an ability where he can shape shift into anything he wants. He was given a magical spear by his dad. His granny confirms his family gift and gives him a plane ride to Alaska to free Thantos. There was a small gathering of ogres waiting for them.
      After arriving in Alaska, Percy falls through a mud hole and Hazel rescues him and they do some reminiscing of her old life in while cleaning up. they then charter Arion (Hazel's dream horse) that only she can control to take them to the glacier. After arriving at the top they encounter an ice version of Camp Jupiter. They battle the giant and free Thantos. Frank gets to use his gift of shape shifting a lot. Then after defeat they hurry to Camp Jupiter to help aid in the attack. Percy reunites with Tyson. They also rescue some imperial gold tools, imperial gold is deadly to monsters, which makes the battle happen much quicker. Even the Amazons show up to help. After the battle is over Percy is accepted by the Romans and named the praetor. He doesn't want to be this because he misses Annabeth too much and he feels like Jason should have it instead. Percy learns that Hera kidnapped Jason and Percy and erased their memories so that they could both unite the camps together so the Prophesy of 7 can be fulfilled and the gods and demigods need to work together to take on the final battle with Gaea. They receive a letter from Leo saying to let the metal boat enter the camp and they have nothing to fear. Frank and Hazel become close and actually start dating but does their romance get ruined because Leo is actually her long lost soul mate? After the boat arrives Percy hurries to meet with Annabeth who he is dying to see.
