Demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace find themselves on a gripping quest into the depths of Tartarus to save an old ally. Co-authored by the acclaimed Rick Riordan and award-winning Mark Oshiro, this thrilling narrative dives into the challenges these heroes must face. Nico di Angelo, the son of Hades, carries a heavy past; he's witnessed the untimely deaths of his mother and sister, been unwillingly outed, and mourned the loss of his friend Jason during the trials of Apollo. Yet, in his life shines a beacon of hope: his boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo. Together, they've managed to tackle every problem so far.However, a haunting voice from Tartarus, a forsaken part of the Underworld, disrupts Nico's peace, suggesting it might belong to a once-maligned Titan named Bob. Percy and Annabeth had no choice but to leave Bob behind when they escaped the realm of Hades. Nico's nightly visions and the ominous predictions from Rachel Dare confirm his belief that Bob desperately needs help. Despite any objections from Mr. D and Chiron, Nico resolves to embark on this perilous journey, with Will steadfastly by his side. The burning question remains: can someone embodying light endure the profound darkness of Tartarus? Moreover, what significance does the prophecy hold, predicting Nico must "leave something of equal value behind?"Within this self-contained adventure, the duo's bond is put to the ultimate test. As they encounter both personal and external demons, the resilience of Nico and Will's relationship becomes the heart of the story, highlighting their enduring popularity in the Percy Jackson universe.
