DescriptionEmbark on a thrilling journey in the Percy Jackson universe with From the World of Percy Jackson: The Sun and the Star (The Nico Di Angelo Adventures), penned by the master storytellers Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro. Dive into a standalone adventure brimming with mythological wonder and heart-pounding action, featuring beloved characters Nico di Angelo and Will Solace.
As the son of Hades, Nico di Angelo is no stranger to the eerie realms of the Underworld. His nights are tormented by a desperate voice echoing through his dreams, which he soon identifies as belonging to Bob, a reformed Titan trapped in the depths of the Underworld. Compelled by an ominous prophecy, Nico is certain that he must embark on a heroic quest to rescue Bob from his perilous plight.
Nico's quest is not one he will face alone. His boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo—the god of light and healing—adamantly insists on joining him. However, the Underworld is no place for the radiant Will. As they delve into the darkest corners of this shadowy realm, questions arise about Will’s survival and the true meaning behind the prophecy, which cryptically warns that Nico may have to sacrifice something of equal value.
Throughout their perilous journey, Nico must confront not only the literal demons residing in the Underworld but also his own internal ones. As the bonds of their relationship are pushed to the breaking point, Nico and Will must discover if their love can persevere even when faced with the unimaginable darkness of hell.
Revisit the enchanting world of Percy Jackson with this brand-new adventure that stands on its own yet enriches the beloved series. Fans can also look forward to reuniting with their favourite demigod in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Chalice of the Gods, available now, and anticipate the trio's next thrilling adventure in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Wrath of the Triple Goddess, coming soon!
