Ever wonder what goes on at Camp Half-Blood in between Percy Jackson’s legendary quests? Find out in the start of a new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rick Riordan and an all-star team of coauthors!

In book one, five newbie demigods dare to enter Camp Half-Blood’s forbidden Wild Zone, unleashing ancient curses, bloodthirsty monsters—and a fight to survive.

Katie Kim may be a newcomer to Camp Half-Blood, but even she knows they weren’t supposed to be running through the Wild Zone—the forest is off-limits to campers and staff. Why, then, did Clarisse, head counselor of the Ares cabin, take her and four other newbies there in the dark of night and tell them to race back to camp by morning?

Clarisse’s threat was scary enough, but when Katie’s half-brother Grant goes missing, his disappearance sparks the arrival of vicious monsters and a mysterious curse. It’s up to Katie and the three remaining newbies—the Wild Omada—to brave the Wild Zone again and uncover its dark and deadly secrets.
Rick Riordan, dubbed “storyteller of the gods” by Publishers Weekly, is the author of five #1 New York Times bestselling middle-grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world, including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which was adapted into an Emmy Award–winning live-action series on Disney+ that he cocreated and executive-produced. His latest novel, cowritten with Mark Oshiro, is The Court of the Dead: A Nico di Angelo Adventure. Rick lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with his wife and fellow executive producer, Becky.

Annabelle Oh is the author of several acclaimed books for children and young adults, including Maggie and the Story Shadows, and she has also written insightful articles for national and international publications.
