But rumours of a terrible curse - and a missing hero - are flying around camp. It seems Jason, Piper and Leo are the chosen ones to embark on a terrifying new quest, which they must complete by the winter solstice. In just four days time. Can the trio succeed on this deadly mission - and what must they sacrifice in order to survive?

Od śmierci matki Carter i Sadie są sobie niemal obcy. Dziewczyna mieszka z dziadkami w Londynie, jej brat natomiast podróżuje po świecie z ojcem, wybitnym egiptologiem doktorem Juliusem Kane. Pewnej nocy doktor Kane zabiera Cartera i Sadie na „eksperyment naukowy” do British Museum, w nadziei że uda mu się z powrotem połączyć rodzinę. Zamiast tego jednak uwalnia egipskiego boga Seta, który skazuje doktora na wygnanie, a jego dzieci zmusza do ucieczki. Wkrótce Sadie i Carter odkrywają, że budzą się wszyscy bogowie Egiptu, a najgorszy z nich – Set – chce zniszczyć rodzinę Kane. Aby go powstrzymać, dzieci muszą podjąć niebezpieczną podróż po całym świecie. Będzie to zadanie, które przybliży je do prawdy o rodzinie i ujawni jej powiązania z tajnym stowarzyszeniem istniejącym od czasów faraonów.

After their mother's death, siblings Sadie and Carter have drifted apart. Sadie has been living with their grandparents in London, while Carter has been traveling the world with their father, the renowned Egyptologist Dr. Julius Kane.

The fourth exciting entry in Rick Riordan's best-selling Heroes of Olympus series is now a graphic novel! At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape? They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
