Percy Jackson reappears minus his memory and is directed by an elderly lady, who turns out to be Juno, to Camp Jupiter were Percy is befriended by a pair of misfits (demigods of Hades and Ares).  They are sent on a quest to free Thantos and save the world from Gaea. 
The special powers of both Hazel and Frank added to Percy's, aid the trio in the travels and combats.
What fun!
