Summary
Percy Jackson rejected the gods' offer of immortality again and again, avoiding the concept of living an immortal life like the plague. But fate can’t be rejected, only delayed.
Years ago, when he and Annabeth fell into the PIT, something inside him shattered — his mortality — and somehow temporarily mended itself back together.
Now, at the age of twenty-five, his body is failing him.
After months of unexplained sickness, his powers are all over the place. Some days the sea calls louder, and answers his commands too quickly. Other days the sea is silent, ignoring him completely.
During a routine training session at Camp Half-Blood, Percy collapses. He stops breathing. His heart stopped beating.
He doesn’t wake up.
Nico goes to the Underworld to find him, and finds nothing. Percy Jackson has died and the realm of the dead has not claimed his soul.
Percy is missing again.
Desperate for answers, the demigods turn to the oracle.
Percy must make a choice: Accept the immortality he denied or allow his divine soul to fade.
