Skulduggery Pleasant is gone, sucked into a parallel dimension overrun by the Faceless Ones. If his bones have not already been turned to dust, chances are he's insane, driven out of his mind by the horror
of the ancient gods. There is no official, Sanctuary-approved rescue mission. There is no official plan to save him. But Valkyrie's never had much time for plans. The problem is, even if she can get
Skulduggery back, there might not be much left for him to return to. There's a gang of villains bent on destroying the Sanctuary, there are some very powerful people who want Valkyrie dead, and as if all that
was not enough it looks very likely that a sorcerer named Darquesse is going to kill the world and everyone on it. Skulduggery is gone. All our hopes rest with Valkyrie. The world's weight is on her shoulders,
and its fate is in her hands. These are dark days indeed.

finds out that his great Aunt Venetia will marry a man who has two young children. Meanwhile, there is a weird howling that the whole town could hear. The town decides to call it the "wilderness wolf" and thinks
that it's dangerous. When Charlie goes home for the weekend his Uncle gets bitten by a creature outside their house. He claims that the things were definitely not a wolf as everyone else thought, but more of a human.

could be right. He decides that he has to help Asa because Asa risked everything to help him and his father. So he, Olivia, Benjamin, and Runner Bean go into the forest looking for him. Instead, they find Asa's mother
as they realize that Asa's father was shot and was now dead. On their way across a dangerous metal bridge, the water rises so high that Runner Bean was washed away. Charlie's wand (which was turned into a moth) ends up
helping them from drowning and Charlie sees the Red King across the bridge. Benjamin goes off to find Runner Bean and Charlie and Olivia bring Mrs. Pike to the Pet's Cafe. There she explains her story of how she
thought that Asa would be good at Bloors Academy with Manfred as his friend, but they explained how they took him away because of how he betrayed them. Charlie leaves and remembers that he has to pick up Billy's Rat
from a Kettle store. When he gets there the lady gives him a strange kettle that gets warm when he was in danger. Charlie and Billy make a plan to go save Asa from underground. When they go they see Asa in his beast
form, but Charlie finds that Billy lost his endowment. They decide that he needs to change back into his human form before they can talk to him. When Billy uses his special candles and Charlie uses his wand (moth)

accident, and Dr. Bloor moves away, (presumably to Paris, where his wife lives), along with all the evil people in the city. Bloor's becomes Bone Academy, and is proclaimed the happiest school in the city.
Billy is adopted by Lyell and Amy, Paton and Julia marry, and they move together to the bookstore. The book (and series) ends when Billy whispers to Charlie at the Pet's Cafe, "Tancred and Emma are holding hands."

The Lightning Thief (2005)
|
|
When Percy Jackson comes home for summer vacation, he and his mother, Sally Jackson, travel to their cabin in Montauk to escape Percy's stepdad, Gabe Ugliano. However, the trip is cut short after a series of harrowing
incidents, including an attack by the Minotaur, resulting in his mother's disappearance. Percy finds himself at Camp Half-Blood, a training camp for demigods, and discovers that he too is a demigod, son of Poseidon,
the Greek god of the sea. Percy also learns that his best friend, Grover Underwood, is actually a satyr, and that Zeus suspects Percy has stolen his Master Bolt, the most powerful weapon in the world. To clear his name,
save the world from another war between the Olympian gods, and possibly save his mother whose soul was collected by Hades, Percy sets out to retrieve the lightning bolt from Hades, who may be the real thief,
after hearing a prophecy from an Oracle of Delphi at Camp Half-Blood. Percy, Grover, and Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena, start on a journey to the underworld, facing numerous mythological monsters on the way.
Their underworld visit does not go as planned, and they realise that Hades himself had his helmet of darkness (symbol of his power) stolen. After confronting an innocent Hades, they learn that their friend Luke Castellan,
son of Hermes, is the real thief who stole the lightning bolt to allow Kronos, the defeated King of the Titans from the past, a chance to rise again and that Ares, the Greek god of war, had been manipulated by Kronos
and helped cover up Luke's crime to instigate a war between the Olympians. Percy barely holds off Ares in a head-to-head fight which was interrupted by Kronos, who wants Percy alive for his future plans. Percy confronts
Luke at Camp Half Blood, which ends with Luke attacking him; Percy barely survives and Luke escapes. At summer's end, Percy returns home to find his mother back from Hades' realm as an expression of gratitude.

The Sea of Monsters (2006)
|
|
Camp Half-Blood is under attack when Thalia's tree, which guards the borders of the camp against monsters, is poisoned and slowly begins to die. Chiron, the camp activities director, has been replaced by Tantalus.
To save the tree and the camp, someone must recover the Golden Fleece, which is located somewhere in the Sea of Monsters (the Bermuda Triangle). At the same time, Percy learns that Grover, who has left on a quest to find
Pan, has been captured by the Cyclops Polyphemus, and that the Fleece is on the Cyclops's island. Percy sets out to rescue Grover with Annabeth and his Cyclops half-brother Tyson, even though Tantalus has prohibited him
from doing so. Meanwhile, Ares' daughter Clarisse La Rue is sent on an official quest by Camp Half-Blood to retrieve the Fleece. The trip to the Sea of Monsters is long and hazardous, and along the way, the heroes
encounter several dangers including Scylla and Charybdis, the sorceress Circe, the Sirens, and their former friend Luke Castellan. Percy also learns of a prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi: A child of one of
"the Big Three" most important gods (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades) will play a vital part in the success or failure of resurrecting Kronos the Titan-King and saving Olympus. Following the encounter with Luke, the heroes
eventually retrieve the Fleece and restore Thalia's tree, unknowingly resurrecting Thalia, daughter of Zeus. She had been turned into the tree by her father after she sacrificed herself so Annabeth and Luke could get
safely to Camp Half-Blood six years prior.

The Titan's Curse (2007)
|
|
On a mission to rescue the half-bloods Bianca and Nico di Angelo; Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Grover are attacked by a Manticore. They are rescued by the goddess Artemis, but Annabeth is captured. Later, Artemis is
captured by Luke's army while hunting for the Ophiotaurus, a cow serpent, which had been foretold to cause the downfall of Olympus when its entrails were sacrificed. Artemis's lieutenant Zoë Nightshade, daughter of Atlas
and a sister of the Hesperides, leads Bianca (now a Hunter of Artemis), Thalia, and Grover on a quest to save her. Percy follows them on behalf of Nico di Angelo, promising to try to protect Nico's sister, Bianca,
as he also tries to find Annabeth. The others eventually encounter Percy, and he joins their group. The group is chased across the country by many monsters, including the Nemean Lion and skeleton warriors. Bianca kills
a skeleton, leaving the others mystified, and hinting at her godly parentage, her father, Hades. Bianca sets off a trap as they cross a godly mechanical dump guarded by Talos, a giant automaton guarding the junkyard.
She later dies, sacrificing herself to save the others; Percy could not save her as she was destined to die as part of the quest's prophecy recited by the Oracle of Delphi. They find Annabeth with Luke, Atlas, and Artemis,
the latter of whom is holding up the sky. Percy then takes it from Artemis, and they trick Atlas into his original position under the sky. Thalia replaces Zoë, who dies saving Artemis, as Artemis' lieutenant.
Thalia's induction as a lieutenant of Artemis ensures that she will become immortal, never aging to reach 16, thus escaping the Great Prophecy and leaving Percy to fulfill it. They return to camp, and Percy informs Nico
about Bianca's death during the journey. Nico blames Percy for failing to protect her and runs away, only after causing skeletal warriors invading the camp to fall into the dark void of the Underworld, thus alerting Percy
to the fact that Hades is Nico and Bianca's father.

the immortal Calypso. He eventually returns to his friends and recruits Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a mortal he encountered in the previous book, to navigate the labyrinth. With Rachel's help, the group finds Daedalus's workshop,
where they find out that Quintus is Daedalus. Daedalus betrays them and sells them out to Luke, and the questers flee back to camp. Luke's army follows them and a battle ensues. The demigods win but suffer many casualties

The Last Olympian (2009)
|
|
Percy Jackson learns that Kronos' forces are preparing to attack Olympus. Poseidon, Percy's father, decides that it is time for Percy to learn what exactly the Great Prophecy means. Seeking a way to defeat Kronos,
Nico di Angelo tells Percy his plan, though Percy does not like it. Percy bathes in the River Styx, making his body invulnerable except one small chosen part of his body (his Achilles' heel, in his case the small of his
back). Kronos leads a siege of New York City and puts its mortal citizens to sleep. Percy leads the campers, Hunters, nature spirits, and centaurs to protect Mount Olympus from Kronos and his forces. While they protect
Olympus, the gods battle the monster Typhon as he makes his way across the country to New York. Kronos, possessing Luke's body, forces his way into Olympus and battles Percy in Olympus' throne room. Typhon reaches
New York but is defeated after the arrival of Poseidon's forces, led by Tyson. Annabeth is able to help Luke overcome Kronos, and Percy gives Annabeth's knife (which is the cursed blade mentioned in the prophecy) to Luke.
Luke, who has also bathed in the River Styx to host Kronos, stabs himself in his armpit, his "Achilles’ heel", to destroy Kronos and save Mount Olympus, dying heroically. The gods reward Percy and his friends and offer him
immortality. Percy rejects the offer but instead requests for the gods to claim all their children and to have cabins for all the gods, including the minor ones. Rachel Elizabeth Dare becomes Apollo's next Oracle,
breaking Hades' curse on the position, and recites the next Great Prophecy. The book finishes with Percy and Annabeth becoming a couple, and ominous clouds looming over Rachel's next Great Prophecy.

The Chalice of The Gods (2023)
|
|
Percy Jackson is informed by his father Poseidon that, because he was never supposed to exist due to the pact, he is ineligible to attend New Rome University. However, Zeus has agreed to allow Percy to attend on the
condition that he complete three new quests for the gods and get letters of recommendation from each god. Poseidon helps Percy to put an ad out for his services while assigning Eudora, a nereid, to be Percy's school
guidance counselor as further assistance. Percy's girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, and his best friend Grover Underwood volunteer to help Percy complete the quests. Zeus' cup-bearer Ganymede responds to the advertisement,
needing help because his chalice of immortality has been stolen and Ganymede needs to recover it before the other gods find out. Percy and his friends investigate Hebe and Iris as potential suspects, and are forced
to work around Percy's school schedule. Although both are cleared of any wrongdoing, in exchange for the three cleansing her magical staff, Iris uncovers the true culprit as Geras, the god of old age, and helps Percy,
Annabeth and Grover to locate him. Percy challenges Geras to a wrestling match to the death, but ultimately wins by embracing Geras and in effect, old age and everything that comes with mortality, winning Geras' respect
and the return of the chalice. However, Percy, Annabeth and Grover get a distress call from Ganymede that Zeus is holding a sudden brunch for his mother Rhea, meaning that Ganymede needs the chalice back immediately.
With the assistance of Grover, Annabeth's cap of invisibility, and Zeus' kitchen staff, Percy sneaks into Zeus's palace where he gets Ganymede alone with the unexpected help of Athena and returns the chalice to him just
in time. Ganymede gives Percy a magical piece of paper on which Percy, his pregnant mother Sally, his stepfather Paul and Annabeth dictate his first recommendation letter. Poseidon reassures Percy that he's always watching
over him and tells Percy that his small act of heroism in helping Ganymede proves Percy to be a true hero more than any of his world-saving quests did as Percy had kept his promise to the god and challenged Geras not to
save the world or to get the letter in the end, but because it's who he is. Percy and Annabeth make plans for their future together and to get the rest of the letters that Percy will need to secure his entrance into college.

his dream. When Apollo and Meg return, they see the camp in the midst of a war. Apollo calls for divine help on Temple Hill. He decides to call Diana. Frank sacrifices himself by burning his firewood lifeline in the process
of killing Caligula to save the other legionnaires. Commodus gives the order to fire, but due to "Plan L", this fails and the yachts are destroyed. Apollo kills Commodus in the grief of losing Frank. But after the fire
dies it’s revealed that Frank is mysteriously still alive. Meanwhile, Tarquin has reached the bookshop where the Sibylline Books are being rewritten, but Ella and Tyson are not there. Meg and Hazel fight Tarquin. Diana

The duo discovers that they have been chosen as "hosts" by the gods Horus and Isis, respectively, and are hunted by the House of Life, the world's governing body of Egyptian magicians, because they have forbidden
magicians to follow the path of the gods (which Carter and Sadie are currently doing). Carter and Sadie learn that the god Set plans to destroy the North American continent using their father's power, and they embark

hoping he will help them fight Apophis, a powerful god of chaos (and Ra's eternal enemy) who masterminded Set's scheme earlier that year (in The Red Pyramid). They journey across the world looking for three scrolls

They fail in doing so.

the gods, especially Ra (hosted by Zia Rashid), the Kane siblings are able to finally banish Apophis and save their friends, although their actions have the unintended consequence of driving the gods away from the
mortal world (until they can reform and find new hosts in a few hundred years).
