Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 5)

Half boy. Half god. All hero. For Percy Jackson, the end of the world started when a Pegasus landed on their car. An ancient prophecy has always loomed over him—one day, the fate of the entire world will fall on his shoulders. When you're the son of a Greek god, these things have a way of coming true at the worst possible moment. And now that moment has arrived. Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his catastrophic attack on New York City itself. The dreaded monster Typhon, one of the most fearsome creatures in existence, is also heading toward the city. The barriers between the mortal world and Mount Olympus are crumbling. Everything Percy has trained for, everything his friends have sacrificed for, comes down to this final, desperate stand.

It's Percy and his demigod friends versus untold evil, ancient powers and the very forces that nearly destroyed the world once before. No pressure, right? Rick Riordan's climactic fifth instalment brings the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series to an epic, action-packed conclusion. With the fate of gods, mortals and the entire fabric of civilisation hanging in the balance, Percy must embrace his destiny and discover what it truly means to be a hero. The prophecy that has haunted him since the beginning finally comes to pass, and nothing will ever be the same. This is the story that inspired the Disney+ series, now reimagined with stunning new cover art. Discover or rediscover the adventure that made Rick Riordan a phenomenon.
