Ryan's life sucks. His brother is a jerk, his mom is sick, and his legs are next to useless thanks to a neurological disorder. Plus the world ended two centuries ago from nuclear war. Now the only escape from reality being the massive VR world of Crystal Shards Online. But even in the game, Ryan's life sucks. He works as a miner, earning not nearly enough to afford the operation that will save his mom. When Ryan discovers an item that grants the ability to dodge any attack, however, he has the chance to become one of the game world's most elite and sought after players: a Dodge Tank.

Sixteen-year-old Manisha is no stranger to monsters—she’s been running from them for years, from beasts who roam the jungle to the King’s army, who forced her people, the naga, to scatter to the ends of the earth. You might think that the kingdom’s famed holy temples atop the floating mountains, where Manisha is now a priestess, would be safe—but you would be wrong.

Ruby Chen has always played the part of the dutiful eldest daughter: excelling in school; excelling in piano lessons; excelling at keeping her younger sister, Tina, focused on extracurriculars meant to impress college admissions officers. But when a ghost from the spirit world attacks Ruby in the middle of Vancouver’s Chinatown neighborhood, her life is plunged into a darkness that no amount of duty can free her from. Overnight, Ruby’s sister seems to change.

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.

Die Welten der alten Götter sind durchlässig geworden - und es gibt böse Mächte, die sich das zunutze machen wollen! Zum Glück treffen Percy und Annabeth angesichts der neuen Gefahren auf die Geschwister Kane, Nachkommen eines mächtigen Pharaos. Denn sie brauchen die Magie beider Welten, der griechischen und der ägyptischen, um das Böse abzuwehren. Neuartige Monster und spannende Abenteuer warten auf sie!

Ein Empfehlungsschreiben der Götter hat sich Percy bereits hart erkämpft - doch zwei weitere fehlen noch, um mit Annabeth aufs College in Neu-Rom gehen zu können. Diesmal ist es Hekate, die ihm einen Auftrag erteilt: die Göttin der Magie und Wächterin der Tore zwischen den Welten. Percy und seine Freunde müssen in Hekates verzauberter Villa mitten in Manhattan eine Woche auf ihre Haustiere aufpassen. Das klingt erst mal einfach - würde es sich nicht um einen leibhaftigen Höllenhund und eine mit einem Fluch belegte Iltisdame handeln!

Wer könnte die griechischen Göttersagen besser nacherzählen als der Sohn des Poseidon höchstpersönlich? Percy Jackson haucht den alten Klassikern turbulentes Leben ein und gibt ganz neue Einblicke in den Alltag auf dem Olymp. Mit einem Augenzwinkern berichtet er unter anderem davon, wie Athene ein Taschentuch adoptiert, Persephone ihren Stalker heiratet und Zeus sie alle umbringt.

Tutte le gabbie sono fatte per essere spezzate. Nico di Angelo e Will Solace sono tornati da pochi mesi dal Tartaro, quando uno strano messaggio di Hazel Levesque li conduce al Campo Giove. Alcuni mostri, stanchi di sottostare agli ordini degli immortali seminando caos e devastazione, hanno chiesto asilo alla sorellastra di Nico nella speranza di poter decidere del proprio destino. Tra loro Asterione, il temibile Minotauro, che ha guidato fin lì i mitici, come si definiscono.

De syv halvguder, som udgør mandskabet på Argo II, er blevet splittet. Aldeles ufrivilligt. Percy og Annabeth er faldet ned i Tartaros, hvor de må kaempe mod de mørkeste uhyrer for at at nå frem til Dødens Port. De andre fem halvguder må til Epiros i Graekenland og lede efter de dødeliges side af porten, for hvis ikke de når at forsegle den - og helst efter at have fået Annabeth og Percy igennem - vil Gaias blodtørstige haer invadere og skabe kaos i menneskenes verden.

Halvblodslejren, de gale guder, mytologiske monstre og seje helte er tilbage i Rick Riordans nye serie Olympens helte. Jason har et problem. Han vågner op i en skolebus - og holder en pige i hånden. Åbenbart er det hans kæreste, Piper, og hans bedste ven hedder Leo, og de er alle elever på Ødemarksskolen, en særlig skole for "problembørn". Jason har ingen anelse om, hvordan han er endt der - han ved bare, at det hele føles meget, meget forkert.

Unlike the other residents of St. Virgil, Selina DaSilva does not believe in magic. With a logical mind and a knack for botany, Selina used to dream of leaving the island to study Pharmacology—until a vicious, unsolved attack left her father dead and her mother in a coma. Now her guilt over her mother’s condition keeps her tethered to the island, relegated to conning gullible tourists with useless talismans and phony protection rituals. But when one of those tourists ends up at the center of a string of strange murders, the truth that Selina has been denying can no longer be avoided.

Healer. Destroyer. Creator. Mateo Matisse and Chela Hidalgo are not just two teenagers in love—they're powerful gods in human form. Powerful enough to have saved their Brooklyn diaspora community from the wrath of an ancient enemy and to have raised their once-sunken native island of San Madrigal from the sea. But soon they discover that their problems are far from over.

De gale guder, mytologiske monstre og seje helte er tilbage i Rick Riordans nye serie Olympens helte. Percy er forvirret. Han kan knap nok huske sit eget navn, og selv efter at ulven Lupa har fortalt ham, at han er en halvgud og trænet ham til kamp med en besynderlig fyldepen, er der stadig meget, som ikke giver mening. På en eller anden måde lykkes det ham at finde vej til en lejr for halvguder, men lejren føles ikke rigtig.

Annabeth e Percy sono precipitati in un baratro profondissimo, tanto da ritrovarsi nelle viscere del Tartaro. I semidei non hanno un istante da perdere: Jason, Leo, Piper, Frank, Hazel e Nico dovranno trovare al più presto la Casa di Ade e sigillare le Porte della Morte, imprigionando le creature infernali che premono per oltrepassarle. Solo così potranno liberare i due eroi e impedire il ritorno di Gea, la dea della terra, che vuole distruggere il mondo con le sue armate di giganti.

Percy Jackson si è risvegliato alla Casa del Lupo, nel Campo dei semidei romani, senza alcun ricordo a parte il nome di Annabeth. Proprio mentre sta andando a salvarlo, la ragazza scopre che tra greci e romani sta per scatenarsi la guerra e, a bordo della nave volante Argo II, cerca di raggiungere il Campo Giove insieme a Jason e Piper.

Jason si risveglia in uno scuolabus, accanto al suo migliore amico e a una bellissima ragazza. Ed è terrorizzato. C'è infatti un piccolo problema: non ricorda assolutamente nulla di sé. E quando una torma di spiriti della tempesta cerca di ucciderlo, qualcosa gli suggerisce che dovrà al più presto venire a capo del mistero.

Percy si risveglia da un lungo sonno e non ricorda nulla di sé, a parte il proprio nome. Perfino il Campo Mezzosangue gli sembra un luogo estraneo, e l'unica traccia che riesce a evocare dal passato è una ragazza: Annabeth. Hazel dovrebbe essere morta, ma è più viva che mai. Ora, a causa di un terribile errore commesso nella sua vita precedente, il futuro del mondo è in pericolo. Frank discende da un dio, secondo i racconti di sua madre, eppure lui non ne è affatto convinto: quando si guarda allo specchio vede un ragazzo goffo e paffuto.

Kenji's only dream in life is to become a great rebirther like his father. But with no talent for the mystic arts, the age-old tradition of cultivating essence by returning things to their newborn state, to grow a second and third time, is far beyond his grasp. Worse still, he is yet to be rebirthed himself and stands a dullard of a giant among his diminutive peers. Relegated to working the orchards as a common laborer, Kenji settles into a life of lowered expectations; with no chance for advancement and no chance of pursuing the woman he loves.
