Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades

This mini-adventure from the Percy Jackson universe plunges readers into a high-stakes quest in the Underworld. Percy, Thalia, and Nico are tasked by Persephone to recover Hades's stolen sword from the formidable Iapetos, brother of Kronos. The story is packed with mythological creatures, suspenseful encounters, and showcases themes of bravery, teamwork, and loyalty. It's an excellent choice for young readers aged 6-9 who are already fans of Greek mythology or the Percy Jackson series, offering a contained, fast-paced narrative that can be enjoyed as a standalone or as a supplement to the larger series.

In this Percy Jackson mini adventure first published in The Demigod Files, the goddess Persephone summons Percy, Thalia, and Nico to the Underworld to retrieve Hades's powerful sword before it falls into the wrong hands. Easier said than done in a realm full of daimons, ghosts, and monsters. Not to mention Iapetos—brother of the powerful Titan lord, Kronos. Will the demigods manage to find and return the sword before it's too late? Includes an excerpt from the upcoming novel The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro.
