The Blood of Olympus The Blood of Olympus is a young adult novel written by American author Rick Riordan and is the fifth and final book in "The Heroes of Olympus" series. It was released on October 7, 2014. The seven demigods of the Prophecy of Seven—Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, Piper McLean, Hazel Levesque, and Frank Zhang—go on their final adventure to defeat Gaea while Nico di Angelo, Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, and Coach Gleeson Hedge attempt to bring the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood in order to prevent a war between the Roman and Greek demigods. The chapters are written from the perspectives of Jason, Piper, Leo, Reyna, and Nico, making it the first time in the series that someone other than one of the seven demigods of the prophecy is the viewpoint character. It is the second time that Percy appears without being a viewpoint character (first being in "The Lost Hero").
