Quick recap

Jason wakes on a school bus with no idea who he is. Beside him are Piper, who says she's his girlfriend, and Leo, his best friend, on a field trip to the Grand Canyon. A classmate turns into a storm spirit and attacks, and Jason fights in a way even he doesn't understand. Annabeth arrives looking for her boyfriend, Percy Jackson, who has been missing for three days. The three are taken to Camp Half-Blood, where they learn who their parents are and get a quest: rescue Hera. The trip reveals that Gaea, the Earth, is starting to wake. The story is now told in third person and rotates its point of view.
