The Diary of Luke CastellanEdit

When Thalia Grace was twelve, she ran away from home in Los Angeles and discovered Amaltheia. She followed her, seeing the goat as a sign from Zeus. She was lured to a dragon's cave where she met Luke Castellan. Later, Amaltheia would reappear in Richmond, Virginia, where she would lead Thalia and Luke to Halcyon Green's mansion which held a treasure for Thalia, and which also turned out to be a deadly trap. But with the help of Luke, Thalia discovered Amaltheia had led her to a gift from Zeus, Aegis, which she was able to use to battle the Leucrotae and save Luke.
