Synopsis
In this adventure, Annabeth encounters more oddities in the subway than usual, including a two-headed monster and a younger blond girl who reminds her a little of herself... This is the story fans have asked for, in which Annabeth Chase teams up with Sadie Kane. The demigod daughter of Athena and the young magician from Brooklyn House take on a larger-than-life foe from the ancient world. Perhaps even more disturbing than the power-hungry god they encounter is the revelation that he is being controlled by someone-someone all too familiar to Sadie. The audio narration was recorded by Rick Riordan himself. As a special bonus, the first chapter of The Blood of Olympus, the final book in The Heroes of Olympus series, is included.

Plot

 * After failing an interview and stepping in cow poop (courtesy of Hera), Annabeth Chase is going to the subway to go to Percy's apartment. Suddenly she sees a monster with wolf and lion heads sticking out of a cone shaped shell. The monster spots her, ad then runs away, as if it has business elsewhere. Annabeth decides to follow the monster, as they normally do not leave demigods alone. The monster is in fact a broken off piece of the god Serapis' staff. The other part is the head of a dog.
