wait to see what's next." Rick Riordan THREE BATTLES
Thirteen-year-old Jack McKinley has fought impossible odds to save
himself, his friends, and the world. Having already defeated the

legions of undead, the Select have recovered three of the lost
Loculi hidden in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only to
lose one of them in order to save a life. They must now find a way
to undo what has been done, to save themselves from the power that
will overwhelm them-and destroy the world. TWO RIVALS Not only do
Jack and his friends have to unearth these seven ancient wonders,

Zeus. ONE ENEMY As time runs out, our heroes must confront gods,
relive old battles, and face-down their own destiny. Old enemies
become new friends and sudden victories turn to certain defeats as
the time nears for everything to change.
