Development

While on tour for The Sun and the Star, Rick and Mark discussed potential ideas for a follow up. According to Rick, "one of those ideas was so fun and so absolutely bonkers that we couldn’t NOT write it." For 2025, this book and the television adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is Rick's focus rather than the Wrath of the Triple Goddess sequel.

Synopsis

A few months after returning from the depths of Tartarus, demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace agree to join Nico's half-sister Hazel Levesque at Camp Jupiter on the West Coast. She needs their help in managing a situation that the boys inadvertently brought about: the demigods showed the monsters of the Underworld that they have options; they don’t have to be evil.

Now some of those monsters have taken up residence at Camp Jupiter to seek refuge. Nico and Will are on site assisting Hazel when one by one monsters start disappearing from camp. A mysterious dark force is at work, and its plan is to punish all monsters for their past crimes.

Things only get worse when Nico, Will, and Hazel learn that they’re all connected to it . . .
