The tree protecting Camp Half-Blood has been poisoned, leaving its young demigods exposed to monsters. Percy believes the Golden Fleece can restore it, but the camp sends someone else on the quest. With Grover also in danger, he sets out without permission, accompanied by Annabeth and Tyson, a school friend whose true identity unsettles him.

The protective border around Camp Half-Blood is failing, and Percy sees a quest for the Golden Fleece as his chance to prove he still belongs among its heroes. He travels with Annabeth, Grover, and a newly discovered Cyclops half brother into the Sea of Monsters. Luke is pursuing the same prize for a purpose that threatens more than the camp.
