Percy's friend Grover, the satyr, discovers more half-blood children. When Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia (daughter of Zeus, former pine tree) try to help mysterious Bianca and Nico di Angelo, they get attacked by a vicious manticore, which is a lion-like monster. During the fight, Annabeth falls off of a cliff and is mysteriously gone.
Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon, visits camp half-blood with her immortal huntresses. Bianca di Angelo, the newly discovered half-blood joins her group of hunters. Percy and his friends discover that while Artemis was hunting, she had been captured. Zoe, the head of Artemis's hunters, Bianca di Angelo, Percy, Thalia, and Grover go on a quest to save Artemis.
Percy saves an Ophiotaurus, which is half sea-serpent and half cow. Later, he discovers that this creature he has nick-names "Bessie" could destroy Olympus.
With help from Apollo, the god of the sun, and Artemis’s twin brother, the five get to New Mexico. There, Percy meets with Aphrodite, the godess of love, who tells Percy to focus on finding Annabeth. In New Mexico, Percy meets a mortal girl, Rachel, who saves Percy's life.
They continue to a mountain, where they see Artemis, holding the weight of the sky, which is the Titan Atlas's job. They discover that Annabeth had been holding the sky earlier, after she had been kidnapped. During an intense battle between Atlas, and Zoe the hunter, Atlas's daughter, Percy must withstand the Titan's curse of holding the sky.
In the end of the book, Artemis is freed and Annabeth gets back to camp safely!
I haven't read all of the Percy Jackson books, so this post reminded me to read them! I've read the first and second, and I've seen the movie, but I haven't read the others. I'll try them soon!
