Kepler's Literary Foundation: Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro
October 1 at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City! We are delighted to host New York Times #1 best-selling authors Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro for The Court of the Dead, a new adventure in which Nico di Angelo teams up with his half-sister Hazel Levesque to protect…monsters?
A few months after returning from the depths of Tartarus, demigods Nico di Angelo and Will Solace agree to join Nico’s half-sister Hazel Levesque at Camp Jupiter on the West Coast. She needs their help in managing a situation that the boys inadvertently brought about: they showed the monsters of the Underworld that they don’t have to be evil.
Now some of those monsters have taken up residence at Camp Jupiter to seek refuge. Nico and Will are on site assisting Hazel when monsters 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 Nico, Will, and Hazel learn that they’re all connected to it.… Now, Nico and Will must endure the terrors of Tartarus to rescue an old friend in this thrilling adventure co-written by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro.
All books will be pre-signed by Rick and Mark. There will not be a signing or meet-and-greet.
