The Court of the Dead

A Nico di Angelo Adventure

By: Rick Riordan, Mark Oshiro

Narrated by: AJ Beckles, Mieko Gavia

New York Times #1 best-selling authors Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro collaborate again on a new adventure in which Nico di Angelo teams up with his half-sister Hazel Levesque to protect . . . monsters?

Nico di Angelo is feeling antsy. It’s been almost three months since he and his boyfriend, Will Solace, returned to Camp Half-Blood from their journey to Tartarus, and there hasn’t been a demigod quest or a conflict with monsters in all that time. So, when Nico's half-sister, Hazel Levesque, asks him and Will to join her at Camp Jupiter on the West Coast, he shadow-jumps at the chance to get away and do something. In her Iris-message, Hazel had said that she needed the boys’ help with an “issue” with some “new guests.” What she didn’t say was that she’s providing a haven for a group of monsters who escaped the Underworld!

Apparently, the self-proclaimed “mythics” learned from Nico and Will themselves that they have options and don’t have to be evil. But their integration into the Roman demigod camp isn’t exactly going smoothly. As Nico and Will endeavor to build bridges between the refugees and the demigod campers, the mythics start disappearing from camp, one by one. A mysterious dark force is at work, and its plan is to punish all monsters for their past crimes. Things only get worse when Hazel learns that she is closely connected to that force . . .

In this brilliantly inventive and laugh-filled adventure, the best-selling team of Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro manipulate the Mist to make listeners see things in a whole new light.

Another Banger!

I love the continuous expansion of the Percy Jackson world and how even though the series hass transitioned beyond Percy I don’t feel like I’d rather be reading a Percy story. Great character development for Nico. Great example of trauma healing

"That's the heroes life."

I couldn't WAIT to read this book of Will and Nico, and ALL TOO SOON it was over....

Rick Riordan is one of my most favorite authors. Literally. I have read every one of his mythical books, starting with both Percy Jackson series and, like he did, expanding from there. Including this book, that's 55 novels total. And I cannot get enough.

As a child, the Greek and Roman Gods have always been interesting to me, and Rick, in his genius, has brought them to life.

I love the banter, the sarcasm, the history. I have learned so much, not just about the Greek and Roman gods, but also about the Egyptian gods, the Vikings, etc. Plus, mental health, acceptance of others and their differences, LGBTQ+, learning differences, etc.

I sincerely hope Rick continues to write more mythology books. I am ready and eager to learn more.

Nico and Will sequel-I think that makes it a Niquel.

Nico and Will are some of my favorite characters. I also love the personified emotions in the form of Caco demons/coco puffs.

THANK YOU RICKY

Please read this audiobook! Loved the audiobook! I was so excited that Rick published a new Nico di Angelo adventure book! It was very nice to listen to and I really enjoyed it. Coming from a teenager it’s very impressive that Rick can write almost exactly through the eyes of one. The story line was pretty good but not my favorite compared to some of Rick’s other work (but still amazing because it’s Rick Riordan!) I definitely will recommend it to friends. A great book to listen to while you paint. Thank you Ricky!

Love

Towards the end with Nico and Will were like suggesting hinting that they might become the new camp counselors. I honestly thought that would be Percy and Annabeth’s role.
