About this book
Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, and his boyfriend, Will Solace, son of Apollo, set out on a perilous quest into the darkest corners of the Underworld to rescue an old friend. The journey tests their courage, their relationship, and their ability to balance shadow and light. Packed with mythological monsters, high-stakes action, and heartfelt humor, this adventure expands the Percy Jackson world while standing on its own. Ideal for fans ready for a slightly older, emotionally richer story with plenty of Rick Riordan’s trademark wit.
Setting: modern-day mythological world—Camp Half-Blood and the depths of the Underworld/Tartarus
