“The Staff of Serapis” by Rick Riordan is now available as an eBook, and includes a sneak peek at Blood of Olympus, the final book in the Heroes of Olympus series.
You can now purchase the “Staff of Serapis” as an eBook. Previously, it was only available in the back of Mark of Athena, as a promotion for the paperback release back in April.
The official synopsis for “Staff of Serapis” is below:
In this adventure, Annabeth encounters more oddities in the subway than usual, including a two-headed monster and a younger blond girl who reminds her a little of herself. This is the story fans have asked for, in which Annabeth Chase teams up with Sadie Kane. The demigod daughter of Athena and the young magician from Brooklyn House take on a larger-than-life foe from the ancient world. Perhaps even more disturbing than the power-hungry god they encounter is the revelation that he is being controlled by someone all too familiar to Sadie.
As a followup to “Son of Sobek,” the crossover story that features Percy Jackson and Carter Kane, “Staff of Serapis” is another exciting installment in this series that follows the children of two completely different sets of ancient gods as they interact for the first time. Although that mere fact is exciting in its own right, the discovery of who could be behind these meetings is even more enticing.
The eBook of “Staff of Serapis” also contains the first chapter of Blood of Olympus, the fifth and final book in the Heroes of Olympus series. This one will follow our seven demigod heroes as they try to save their homes and their godly parents from the ever-more-terrifying earth goddess and her minions.
The sneak peek gives us a look at the opening chapter of Blood of Olympus, which is from Jason’s point of view, and features him, Piper, and Annabeth. Dressed in some magically crafted disguises, they’re about to befriend some ghosts at the ancient palace of Odysseus. Sounds like a regular day for a demigod!
