This Percy Jackson spin-off follows established characters on a fantasy adventure involving monsters and supernatural conflict, with age-appropriate action and some darker themes related to the Underworld. The series is known for lighthearted humor, diverse and LGBTQ+ representation, and messages about redemption and acceptance—core strengths that appeal to middle-grade and early teen readers. Language and sexual content are minimal, though the story touches on serious themes like punishment and moral complexity. Fans of the original series will find familiar tones, though the Tartarus backstory and monster-focused plot may resonate more strongly with readers already comfortable with the Percy Jackson universe.

New York Times #1 best-selling authors Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro collaborate again on a new adventure in which Nico di Angelo teams up with his half-sister Hazel Levesque to protect . . . monsters? A few months after returning from the depths of Tartarus, demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace agree to join Nico's half-sister Hazel Levesque at Camp Jupiter on the West Coast. She needs their help in managing a situation that the boys inadvertently brought about: the demigods showed the monsters of the Underworld that they have options; they don't have to be evil. Now some of those monsters have taken up residence at Camp Jupiter to seek refuge. Nico and Will are on site assisting Hazel when one by one monsters start disappearing from camp. A mysterious dark force is at work, and its plan is to punish all monsters for their past crimes. Things only get worse when Nico, Will, and Hazel learn that they're all connected to it . . .
