The book begins when Percy Jackson gets an urgent distress call from his friend Grover. He immediately prepares for battle. He knows he will need his powerful friends Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Thalia, daughter of Zues, at his side, his trusty bronze sword Riptide... and a ride from his mom.

The demigods rush to the rescue to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two powerful half-bloods whose parentage is unknown, named Bianca and Nico di Angelo. The school that these half-bloods go to is a military school called Westover Hall in Maine, and it is hosting a dance. Grover tells them that the vice principal, Dr. Thorn, is a monster (the manticore) and has been considering attacking the half-bloods that Grover has been watching.To act natural Thalia dances with Grover and Percy dances with Annabeth. Later at the dance Annabeth notices that Nico and Bianca are missing and runs off to find them. Percy sees the pair being taken out of the dance by Dr. Thorn. Acting on an impulse, Percy attacks Dr. Thorn and is promptly captured.

Percy, Bianca, and Nico are rescued by their friends, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover; but the manticore is too quick for them. When they are almost about to die, Artemis and her Hunters come to the rescue. Annabeth is captured by Dr. Thorn, however, and she falls off a cliff with him. Percy thinks she might be dead. Bianca pledges herself to Artemis and joins the Hunters, forswearing romantic love forever. Artemis calls on her brother Apollo to take the half-bloods and the Hunters back to Camp Half-Blood while she goes alone to hunt the evil monsters of old.

Back at camp, Percy speaks with his brother Tyson, and has a dream in which his enemy Luke tricks Annabeth into holding up the sky. Later, Percy has another dream, in which Artemis takes Annabeth's place holding the sky to save Annabeth. In the dream, the General tells Luke to kill Annabeth, but Luke convinces the General to let him keep her alive until winter solstice, as further bait. Percy is called by Blackjack, a Pegasus to rescue a marine cowlike creature called the Ophiotaurus, whom Percy names Bessie, not knowing what it is.

The Hunters stay at camp, and a capture-the-flag game is held in their honor. Percy strays from Thalia's plan during the game, and they start to argue. While they are fighting, however, the Oracle leaves the attic and speaks a prophecy. Zoe Nightshade, the huntress lieutenant, Bianca, Grover and Thalia leave on a quest, and Percy follows on Blackjack. They stop at a museum and from a distance Percy sees Dr. Thorn confirming that Annabeth is alive and that his dream was true. Dr. Thorn does not go into the museum with the rest of them and instead goes somewhere else. Percy goes into a place where, using Annabeth's invisibility cap which she dropped before being captured, he sees the General and Luke. There the General creates skeletal warriors, which are almost impossible to destroy, by putting dinosaur teeth, which is really dragon teeth, into soil . Their purpose is to kill Zoe and Bianca. The General is about to give them the cloth to get the Hunters' scent when Percy grabs it from his hand. The skeletons tear a chunk out of Percy's sleeve and inhale his scent. He searches for the group and after fighting and defeating the [[Nemean Lion]], he joins the quest. They get followed by one of the General's helicopters so they leave the white van they were traveling in and run into the nearby subway. After changing trains at least twice they arrive at the end of the line where they meet a homeless man by a fire. They ask him how to go west and he points to a train carrying cars. It turns out that the man was Apollo.

With help from Apollo, they reach a small town in New Mexico. There they are surrounded by the skeletal warriors. Grover then senses Pan's presence and a wild gift from him, the Erymanthian Boar, a giant boar, comes to carry them further on to San Francisco. It takes them to the junkyard of the gods, and Percy meets Ares and talks to Aphrodite,at which point it is hinted that Annabeth and Percy will most likely have a romantic future. Eventually, the group enters the junkyard, where Bianca tries to steal something, an action figure for her younger brother, but she awakens a prototype Talos and enters via a maintenance hole in his left foot to destroy him. She succeeds in destroying the prototype Talos, but goes missing afterward. At this time it is undetermined if she is alive or dead.

They reach a river, where the group canoes to the Hoover Dam.They are attacked by the skeletal warriors and Percy meets a mortal girl who can see through the Mist, named Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She saves Percy by confusing the skeletons, allowing Percy and his friends to escape. The group gets trapped on the dam but they fly off on giant angel statues built for Zeus by Athena.

Reaching San Francisco, Percy wrestles Nereus, the old man of the sea, and learns Bessie the Ophiotaurus is the monster they seek, for burning its entrails will give them power to destroy Olympus. Grover takes Bessie back to camp after Thalia is enticed to wield the power by Dr. Thorn, who attacks them on the pier. They manage to get an Iris message (a means of communication for the gods via a shimmering image, produced by throwing a golden drachma into a rainbow) to Camp Half Blood and see Dionysus, the Camp director. He saves them after Percy reluctantly asks for help.

They go to see Annabeth's father to ask for help and he gives them a car. They climb to the Garden of the Hesperides, where Zoe meets her sisters and is poisoned by the dragon, Ladon. They continue to the place where Atlas held up the sky, and they see Artemis taking on his burden. Annabeth is bound and gagged by Luke and Atlas. Realizing that the prophecy made by the Oracle involved him, Percy takes the burden--the Titan's curse--from Artemis. In the ensuing fight, Atlas kills his daughter by throwing her against rocks; she is turned into a constellation by Artemis. Artemis gets Atlas to take his burden from Percy, as only a Titan can be forced to bear the sky. In a battle between Thalia and Luke, Luke falls into a chasm; Percy assumes that Luke is dead, but it is confirmed by Poseidon that the traitorous demi-god had survived. They go to Mount Olympus via pegasus, including Blackjack.

The gods keep Bessie on Olympus, and Percy learns from Athena that his fatal flaw is (excessive) personal loyalty. Thalia joins Artemis' Hunters so that she'll never turn 16, and the prophecy will never be about her. After partying with the gods, they go back to camp. Percy figures out that Nico's father was Hades after the skeletal warriors appear and Nico unintentionally splits the earth to swallow them up. Nico tells Percy that he hates him for not saving his sister and runs away. While Percy discusses this with Annabeth, Grover arrives, claiming he heard Pan in his mind saying I await you while drinking coffee.

"The Titan's Curse" is the fourth book in the Percy Jackson series. In this sequel, Percy, along with his friends, attempt to find and save the Greek goddess of hunt, Artemis and their close companion, Annabeth. They must find the goddess before the winter solstice, or the outcome of the Olympian Council, which is a group of 12 important Greek gods and goddesses, about the decision to go to war with the Titans, may be effected.
