The Mark of Athena is the third book in The Heroes of Olympus series which will be released on October 2, 2012. Riordan has also been researching his newest series based on Norse mythology.
Then on June 5, timed with the opening of BookExpo America, the publisher will launch a new Web site, GreeksvsRomans.com, with the tagline: “Whose camp are you in?” “We anticipate a lot of kids wearing purple or orange T-shirts to signify [their affiliation],” says Suzanne Murphy, v-p and publisher of books at Disney Publishing Worldwide, and the mother of a 12-year-old boy who was a reluctant reader until he discovered The Lightning Thief.
To read the first chapter from The Mark of Athena, visit the Heroes of Olympus website.
