Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight
to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief
and follow Percy’s instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of
Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s forces, and Percy
and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be
able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising
Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and
Annabeth be able to escape?
They have no choice. If the demigods
don’t succeed, Gaea’s armies will never die. They have no time. In about
a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are
higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of
Tartarus.

What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is
shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss
and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the
limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and
Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies,
tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris’s new
reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old
discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths
change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle
to comprehend the complexities of human nature—and of herself—while
facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and
love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1
New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent
series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the
dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and
Insurgent.
