Sauver le monde, Percy Jackson maîtrise. Mais décrocher son diplôme ? Pas si simple, surtout quand il lui faut trois lettres de recommandation des dieux. Il a déjà obtenu la première… il en reste encore deux. Pour la suivante, Percy, Annabeth et Grover doivent garder l'animal de compagnie d'Hécate pendant Halloween. Une mission tranquille – jusqu'à ce que Grover commette une bourde monumentale. Résultat : des créatures magiques lâchées dans New York et un manoir en ruines. Ils ont 24 heures pour réparer les dégâts… ou faire face à la colère d'Hécate.

When Leena Edenfrell swore herself to the Frozen Prince, Noc Feyreigner, she never dreamed she'd ignite the flames of war. And yet as their enemies combine forces against them, Leena and Noc have no choice but to gather their allies and fight. While Noc makes moves to reclaim their lost throne, Leena acts as the new Crown of the Charmer's Council, searching for a way to stop the enemy from raising an ancient creature destined to burn their world to ash.

Percy modtager et nødopkald fra sin ven Grover. Han har fundet to hidtil ukendte halvblodsbørn, men det lader til at et par af de mytologiske uhyrer også har fået øje på børnene, og Percy haster af sted for at hjælpe Grover. Men redningsaktionen går grueligt galt, og Percy må hjælpeløs se til, da et uhyre river Annabeth med ud over en klippekant og forsvinder.

Percy er begyndt på en ny skole. Igen. Og til trods for hans soleklare intention om ikke at blive smidt ud denne gang, er det bare sådan, at det at være halvgudsbarn af Poseidon har det med at tiltrække problemer – og uhyrer. Efter ved et uheld at have sat ild til skolen må Percy stikke af til Halvblodslejren. Men heller ikke lejren er længere et sikkert helle, for alt tyder på, at den tidligere lejrdeltager Luke er meget tæt på, at kunne føre Kronos’ hær gennem en enorm underjordisk labyrint og direkte ind bag lejrens svækkede magiske grænser.

Noc, leader of the assassins of Cruor, may have broken the curse that's kept him trapped for so many years, but the dark magic won't be denied. If he doesn't kill Leena—the girl he can't live without—then his own life will be given as payment. To make matters worse, the truth of his past has fallen into the hands of his enemies, threatening everyone he's ever loved. And their time is running out.

Depois de salvar o mundo inúmeras vezes de monstros, titãs, gigantes e outras criaturas aterrorizantes, tudo que Percy deseja é que seu último ano no ensino médio seja tranquilo. Infelizmente, os deuses têm outros planos para o jovem herói. Se ele quiser mesmo entrar na Universidade Nova Roma, terá que cumprir três missões para conquistar três cartas de recomendação vindas diretamente do Monte Olimpo.

Valkyrie-in-training Bryn Halbrook just can't catch a break. With her boyfriend stuck in Hel and the taunting laughter of Loki still ringing in her ears, she struggles to concentrate on her training and duties in Odin's realm. The last thing she expects--or wants--is more adventure! But then, treachery, a shocking abduction, and a chilling discovery, send her forth on another perilous, globe-hopping mission.

Being both a valkyrie and a princess isn’t turning out quite the way Sigrid imagined. The other valkyries still treat her like a stable hand. Her relationship with Mariam is less “long-distance” and more “worlds apart.” And lately, she’s been wondering if Sleipnir, her new horse, isn’t making her a little bit…well, evil. But Sigrid’s first official valkyrie mission sends ripples through the Nine Worlds. She’s attracted the wrath of not only the Night Elves but their sinister king, who wants nothing more than to bring darkness down on everyone.

From the time she was born, Sigrid has only ever been ordinary. Being paired at birth with a plain horse—instead of the powerful winged mare of a valkyrie—meant there would be no warrior path for her. No riding the skies, no glory among the nine worlds. Just the simple, unremarkable life of a stable hand. Everything changes when a terrible enemy ambushes Vanaheim and Sigrid sees a vision of herself atop a mythical stallion, leading the valkyries into a harrowing battle. Finally, she can grab her future with her own two hands and become the hero of her own story … if she dares.

Charity is a fairy godmother. She doesn’t wear a poofy dress or go around waving a wand, but she does make sure the deepest desires of the student population at Jack London High School come true. And she knows what they want even better than they do because she can glimpse their perfect futures. But when Charity fulfills a glimpse that gets Vindhya crowned homecoming queen, it ends in disaster. Suddenly, every wish Charity has ever granted is called into question.

Much like Lin-Manuel Miranda did in Hamilton, the New York Times best-selling author David Elliott turns a classic on its head in form and approach, updating the timeless story of Theseus and the Minotaur for a new generation. A rough, rowdy, and darkly comedic young adult retelling in verse, Bull will have listeners reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters.
