The House of Hades
Rick Riordan
How long could YOU survive in Tartarus?
Setting
The House of Hades starts off aboard the Argo II over the Apennines in Italy. Jason, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Piper, and Nico are trying to fight off the mountain gods summoned by Gaea. Eventually it switches over to Percy and Annabeth plummeting into the dark abyss of Tartarus.
Summary
Nothings better than falling into a black pit or trying to escape angry mountain gods to get to Greece. Unfortunately, Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Leo, Frank, Piper, Jason, and Hazel...they got stuck in the boat. Luckily, they have mad skills that could have the potential to save them, and the world as well.

Nico Di Angelo
Nico Di Angelo is the one of the many children of Hades, god of the Underworld. That's an odd man out already, but on top of that, he is from the 1930s so he feels like he does not fit in anywhere. Nico is quite mysterious and sneaks up on you when you least expect it. He also has a few secrets that he DOESN'T want to share
Jason Grace
Son of the mighty Zeus, god of the heavens and ruler of Olympus. He was one of the Praetors at New Rome along with Reyna. However, in The Lost Hero, Hera, goddess of marriage and Queen of Olympus, erased Jason Grace and Percy Jackson's memories and switch them to the opposite camp. Luckily, they returned to their home camp...only for Percy and Annabeth to fall into a dark pit. Now he's aboard the Argo II searching for the House of Hades.

Piper McLean
Being a daughter of Aphrodite has its perks, like the ability to charmspeak and control your enemies. Her skills will be tested on the Argo II to see if she can prevent the ship from looking like Wisconsin!
Hazel Levesque
Being able to summon precious metals? Sweet! Unfortunately anyone that picks them gets cursed, like her. Fortunately, Hecate taught her mother witchcraft, or so the nuns at St. Augustine thought. The Mist, is her specialty.

Being the son of Poseidon, being DESICCATED sounds impossible.
