Demigods from both the Greek camp, Camp Half - Blood, and a newfound Roman camp, Camp Jupiter, work together to save the world from being destroyed by Gaea. The prophecy reads : Seven half - bloods shall answer the call, To storm or fire, the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. Books The Lost Hero Main article : The Lost Hero The Lost Hero, the first book in the Heroes of Olympus series, was released on October 12, 2010 as a hardcover, audiobook, and ebook. The initial publishing run consisted of 2.5 million copies. The book 's official publication was preceded by several `` sneak - peek '' releases by Disney - Hyperion. A graphic novel version, adapted and illustrated by Orpheus Collar, was released October 7, 2014. The novel begins by introducing Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez, three newly - discovered demigods who travel to Camp Half - Blood. In response to a prophecy, they set off on a quest to prevent the rebirth of the giant king Porphyrion and rescue Piper 's father, who has been kidnapped by another giant, Enceladus. Jason, who has amnesia, also begins to remember pieces of his past throughout the book - most importantly, that he comes from a Roman camp for demigods called Camp Jupiter. Camp Half - Blood resolves to seek out this other camp both to gain allies in the fight against Gaea, the giants ' mother and commander, and to locate the missing Percy Jackson. The novel was a number one bestseller on the lists of The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly.. Many critics praised the novel as a good follow - up to Riordan 's previous series. A review by The Epoch Times commented, `` If anyone was afraid that Riordan could n't top his Percy Jackson series -- they can quit worrying. This new series, even though in the same genre as the Percy Jackson group, has fresh ideas, more mystery and magic and keeps the reader engrossed from start to finish. '' Despite this praise, some reviews were more mixed. Vicky Smith of Kirkus Reviews wrote, `` ( there are ) far too many pages of stretched - out action, telling not showing and awkward dialogue... Unless Riordan tightens things up considerably by number five, ( readers ) may find themselves hoping that it does not end with a third Great Prophecy ''. The Lost Hero won the Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2010 award and was a Massachusetts Children 's Book Award Honor book for 2014, among other honors. Rick Riordan was named `` Author of the Year '' for the novel at the 2011 Children 's Choice Awards. The book was also recommended by the ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults list of 2012. The son of Neptune Main article : The Son of Neptune The Son of Neptune, the second book in the Heroes of Olympus series, was released on October 4, 2011. The novel opens with Percy Jackson ( stricken with amnesia ) discovering Camp Jupiter and meeting several Roman demigods. After a prophecy from Mars, he, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque travel to Alaska to stop the rise of the giant Alcyoneus and free the god Thanatos, whom the giant has captured. After successfully completing their mission, the group returns to Camp Jupiter to defend it from yet another giant, Polybotes, and his army. After repelling this invasion, the demigods from Camp Jupiter go to meet the delegation from Camp Half - Blood arriving in the flying ship known as the Argo II. The Mark of Athena Main article : The Mark of Athena The Mark of Athena, the third book, was released on October 2, 2012. After the Argo II unintentionally fires on Camp Jupiter, the seven demigods of the `` Prophecy of Seven '' - Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Hazel Levesque, Frank Zhang, Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Leo Valdez - rush to escape the angered Roman campers. They travel to Rome following the Mark of Athena, a magical talisman designed to lead children of Athena ( like Annabeth ) to the missing Athena Parthenos. During their journey, they hear that Nico di Angelo has been captured by the Aloadae, and go to rescue him. Although they successfully free the son of Hades and locate the statue, Annabeth and Percy are pulled into Tartarus and the rest of the group resolves to find some way to save them. The House of Hades Main article : The House of Hades The House of Hades, the fourth book, was released on October 8, 2013. In Tartarus, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase travel towards the `` Doors of Death '' ( the only exit to the mortal world ) with help from Bob the Titan, hoping to escape and simultaneously stop more monsters from getting through. In the mortal world, the remaining demigods search for the mortal side of the Doors to help open them. They also meet with Reyna Avila Ramírez - Arellano, a Roman demigod ; she, Nico di Angelo, and Coach Hedge leave with the Athena Parthenos for Camp Half - Blood. Once reunited, the original seven sail for Greece, where they expect Gaea 's main force will gather. The Blood of Olympus Main article : The Blood of Olympus The Blood of Olympus, the fifth and final book in the series, was released on October 7, 2014. While Reyna Ramírez - Arellano, Nico di Angelo, and Gleeson Hedge travel towards Camp Half - Blood ( where the Romans are preparing to attack the Greeks ), the seven of the quest travel to Athens. With help from the gods, the demigods defeat the giants in Athens. They then return to the fight on Long Island and Leo Valdez sacrifices himself to defeat Gaea and restore peace. In the final pages, Leo is resurrected by his bronze dragon Festus and goes to find his girlfriend Calypso. Unaware that he is alive, Camp Half - Blood and Camp Jupiter mourn his loss, determining to become allies and prevent such a deadly war from happening again.
