 Previously, the first chapter of Blood of Olympus, the final book in the Heroes of Olympus series, was available with the purchase of the short story eBook “Staff of Serapis,” which was a crossover showing how Annabeth Chase (from Percy Jackson and the Olympians) and Sadie Kane (from The Kane Chronicles) met for the first time. You can see more in our recomendation page.
Now, the full chapter is online for everyone to enjoy. You can read it here, thanks to Disney Publishing.

And here the official summary:

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they’re stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance
Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea’s army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Since then she lived with her sister (Prim) and her mother, but she didn't get on with her mother because she blame her for having a depression after Katniss' father's death and letting Katniss and Prim to cope on their own. She had to go hunting in the woods so the could eat. When she was 16 years old Katniss volunteered herself to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games when Prim was called during the reaping day. The other tribute from her district was Peeta Mellark, the boy who saved her family during her mother's depression by giving her a loaf of bread. Before her trip to the Capitol, she went to the Justice Building to say goodbye to her loved ones. When she said goodbye to her mother and Prim, Prim made her promise that she would tryto win, Katniss promised it and told her mother she has to take care of her sister. Along with Peeta she was declared winner of the 74th Hunger Games, she went to the Victory tour and then took part in the 75th Hunger Games because the Capitol saw her as a threat.
