The Story

Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything — not his past, not his friends, not even his own name. He wakes up on a school bus with no memory, sitting next to two people who claim to be his best friends. When a storm spirit attacks and their coach turns out to be a horse-man, Jason is whisked away to Camp Half-Blood, where he discovers he is the son of a god. But which god? And why can't he remember anything? The fate of Olympus — and the world — may depend on the answer.
