Synopsis

The Chalice of the Gods is the first book of The Senior Year Adventures, a follow-up to the original Percy Jackson & the Olympians series about a Greek demigod. Now a high school senior looking toward college applications, Percy Jackson learns New Rome University, the school he hopes to attend with Annabeth, requires an almost impossible condition for demigods: three letters of recommendation from Olympian gods. Reluctant but determined, Percy accepts his first task from the god Ganymede, who needs help recovering his stolen golden chalice before Zeus's next feast, when its absence would cause embarrassment. Accompanied by Annabeth and his satyr friend Grover, Percy sets out on what seems like a straightforward favor, only to find that even a minor godly errand brings unexpected complications and old enemies eager to take advantage.

Notes

  • From the series record (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Senior Year Adventures): Interquel continuation novels set in Percy's senior year, in-story AFTER The Heroes of Olympus and BEFORE The Trials of Apollo (September and Halloween of that school year respectively), despite publishing 9+ years later. A third volume is drafted but unpublished (announced as the last Percy-narrated adventure) and isn't counted here yet.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
