Rick Riordan Quote
Do you know who I am? she demanded.Well, you're Night, I suppose, said Annabeth. I mean, I can tell because you're dark and everything, though the brochure didn't say much about you.Nyx's eyes winked out for a moment. What brochure?Annabeth patted her pockets. We had one, didn't we?Percy licked his lips. Uh-huh. He was still watching the horses, his hand tight on his sword hilt, but he was smart enough to follow Annabeth's lead. [...]Anyway, she said, I guess the brochure didn't say much, because you weren't spotlighted on the tour. We got to see the River Phlegethon, the Cocytus, the arai, the poison glade of Akhlys, even some random Titans and giants, but Nyx...hmm, no you weren't really featured.Featured? Spotlighted?Yeah, Percy said, warming up to the idea. We came down here for the Tartarus tour--like, exotic destinations, you know? The Underworld is overdone. Mount Olympus is a tourist trap--Gods, totally! Annabeth agreed. So we booked the Tartarus excursion, but no one even mentioned we'd run into Nyx. Huh. Oh, well. Guess they didn't think you were important.

About Rick Riordan
Riordan's first full-length novel was Big Red Tequila, which became the first book in the Tres Navarre series. His big breakthrough was The Lightning Thief (2005), the first novel in the five-volume Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which placed a group of modern-day adolescents in a Greco-Roman mythological setting. Since then, Riordan has written The Heroes of Olympus, a sequel to the Percy Jackson series; The Kane Chronicles, a trilogy of similar premise focusing on Egyptian mythology; and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, again a trilogy of similar premise focusing on Norse mythology. Riordan also helped Scholastic Press develop The 39 Clues series and its spinoffs, and penned its first book, The Maze of Bones. In 2021, he published Daughter of the Deep. His third standalone novel, The Sun and the Star, co-written with author Mark Oshiro, was published on May 2, 2023.
