Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Five: The Last Olympian

The prophecy has been waiting for Percy Jackson’s sixteenth birthday. Now the final battle has arrived.

All year, Percy and the other demigods have been preparing for war.

The Titan lord Kronos is stronger than ever, and his army continues to grow as more gods, monsters, and half-bloods join his cause.

While the Olympian gods struggle to contain the monstrous Typhon, Mount Olympus is left vulnerable.

And Kronos is coming.

With Manhattan becoming the battlefield, Percy and his friends must defend Olympus against an overwhelming Titan army. But as the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday finally begins to unfold, Percy realizes the fate of Olympus—and the entire Western world—may depend on the choices he makes.

Even more terrifying is the possibility that he may be fighting against his own destiny.

Friendships will be tested. Sacrifices will be made. Prophecies will be fulfilled.

And Percy Jackson will finally discover what kind of hero he is meant to become.

Action-packed, emotional, and filled with Greek mythology, monsters, gods, and epic battles, The Last Olympian brings the original five-book Percy Jackson and the Olympians story arc to its thrilling conclusion.

Perfect for readers who love: Greek mythology, demigods, epic battles, prophecies, monsters, friendship, found family, action-packed fantasy, gods and Titans, and heroic adventures.
