I have went and made additions to both CHALICE OF THE GODS and WRATH OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS that push them past the 300-page mark. Additions include:
- Flashbacks to events in previous entries
- PTSD triggers that happen to Percy and Annabeth following what happened in Tartarus
- Extended Travis and Katie wedding
So these new Camp Half-Blood books we're getting are part of a quadrilogy set in Fall, between the events of THE LIGHTNING THIEF and THE SEA OF MONSTERS, and will focus on 4 different demigods who later served a role in the Titan War in THE LAST OLYMPIAN.
These are your new demigods:
- Katie Kim: Daughter of Ares
- Harper Rush: Son of Aphrodite
- Zuri Chapman: Daughter of Apollo
- Benny Garcia: Unclaimed
And during this time, there will be more of the following characters:
This is basically my pitch on how Rick Riordan could conclude the entirety of the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles as a whole:
The last scene, told entirely from Percy’s PoV, is set inside of St. George’s Chapel in Windsor for Drew Tanaka’s royal wedding as she breaks tradition full time by not wearing a modest dress that covers everything (she wears a white ruffled ball gown with ruffle halter, gloves, tiara, earrings, necklace, and short-length veil), Drew became a philanthropist after a sale of beauty products she made had skyrocket, and now becoming “Princess Drew of Kent,” and that money will continue to grow, with her brand becoming more popular.
At the reception, all the characters are there. During the dance, Percy and Annabeth (both traveling internationally with their jobs: Percy as a salvaging diver, and Annabeth as the head of her own architecture firm along with her old World of Design crew: Dave and Hana) are finding a brand new sense of peace now that the gods will no longer be residing over New York, but will miss Poseidon and Athena. Chiron reveals he was appointed as Camp Director for Camp Half-Blood after Mr. D’s exile from Olympus came to an end. Now that the gods are no longer in America, Chiron retires from camp and goes out into the world as Latin teacher Mr. Brunner. But will occasionally visit Camp Half-Blood. And also mentions that the Heart of the West is now in Australia, and the Sydney Opera House is the entrance to Olympus.
Looking at the others, they have all found their own paths: Jason is the President of the United States, he created an indestructible bridge between liberals and conservatives, along with First Lady Piper as a motivational speaker. Thalia resigned from the Hunters of Artemis to be a secret service agent for Jason during his presidency, just to make up for lost time with her brother. Thalia had appointed Reyna as the new lieutenant of the Hunters, as she is training new hunters at the Waystation in Indianapolis.
Clarisse and Chris both run a self-defense academy for women and veterans in Phoenix. Clarisse trains them physical, Chris runs the veteran reintegration and PTSD recovery programs.
Grover became an environmental attorney and married Juniper. He often collaborates with Katie, who is the head of global reforestation efforts, along with Meg, who runs a crew that helps greenhouses function properly. The three are making the planet green again, one tree at a time.
The Stoll Brothers are now treasure hunters who seek to reclaim stolen and forgotten historical artifacts and send them to museums where they belong. Nico would act as their paranormal consultant if the artifact is connected to the Underworld or any ancient mythology.
Beckendorf becomes the head engineer for a sustainable technology firm partnered with Leo, who is CEO of his own tool company. They design machines that balance innovation with environmental harmony. Beckendorf also mentors young inventors through a foundation he and Silena created. While Silena had started her own clothing line called “Aphrodite” given her status as a dress model, and was also the one who designed Drew’s wedding dress and accessories. She knows that if a woman becomes a princess by marrying into royalty, then they should look the part.
Will had made a breakthrough in the field of medicine as he developed a new form of Ambrosia that does not burn up mortals/non-demigods. When the gods moved to Australia, so did the Oracle of Delphi, and Rachel is no longer the host. She now hosts art shows around the world, with Will funding the shows.
Tyson, Hazel, and Frank are still residing in New Rome. Tyson still runs Cyclops Books with Ella the Harpy. His store just got shelves filled with Frank’s new fantasy book series “Paws of the Beasts,” with accurate zoology details of each animal. He even resigned from Praetor and married Hazel (she had also resigned). Hazel runs a jewelry store with the gems she can summon from the earth, now that her curse is lifted.
Sally has been getting a lot of calls from movie studios about film and TV show adaptations of her books, and she agreed to co-write and executive produce the projects. She would collaborate with Calypso, who is married to Leo, who would compose the scores for the adaptations of Sally’s works. And Paul, given what he’s seen with the gods and monsters, he publishes a book that explains the real truth behind the Greek/Roman myths. His work is even footnoted in Sally’s books for anything Greek/Roman related.
Following the end of the reception, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover climb aboard Mrs. O’Leary and Shadow-Travel to their new beachfront home in Malibu, CA. Finally home, the end of their final quest. Looking on the horizon, they know that whatever happens with the demigods in Australia regarding gods, monsters, and prophecies, it’s their problem now. Annabeth considers having a baby with Percy as the father, to which he is not opposed to having, and Grover being appointed as the godfather. Peace at last.
THREE YEARS LATER
Meanwhile, Octavian has found a way out of Tartarus. Upon getting out, he suddenly finds he is in Australia, surrounded by kangaroos, desert landscapes, and the sound of didgeridoos. He finds out too late that the Heart of the West had moved to Australia.

It's tells what demigods do when they're not on life-threatening world-ending quests, which kind of help bridge the gaps between stories.
Note: There will be a lot set before, during, and after The Battle of the Labyrinth as that one is set in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
