THE NEW GODS

Prologue

The Second Giant War had not gone well. While Percy Jackson and the other demigods and gods had prevailed, it came at a cost—the god's symbols of power had been destroyed in a last, desperate attempt by Gaia herself to overthrow the gods. It had worked—almost. The demigods Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, rallied in an equally desperate attempt to defeat Gaia and had succeeded in banishing her from this world, but the damage was done—the gods were dying. It was time to pass on the flame of Western Civilization to some new gods—that is, soon-to-be gods.
