""Prophecies, blah-blah-blah, fate of the world lies in one child, yeah, we get those a lot. Mind if I request for something new and refreshing?""

The Jackson Legacy is a Percy Jackson and The Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus fanfiction written by Simon Layton.

Seven years after the events of The Heroes of Olympus, Percy Jackson has mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth. His "disappearance" then causes a lot of problems in for demigods; the latter getting chased and hunt down by monsters even more, the Prophetical Seven from the previous war is forced to go into hiding, and basically half-blood lives are becoming harder.

Jump another seven years later, a boy name Peter, a kid who knows of the godly world for a long time but never truly believed in it until recently, comes to Camp Half-Blood and claims to be Percy Jackson's mortal younger brother. He also claims to know where the missing Percy Jackson is, thanks to a dream, despite actually not knowing where his brother actually is. Peter is then sort of forced to go on a quest to find his older brother, and he is dragged into a series of events where he discovers dark secrets that Percy did not include in his stories...

Word of God says that there will be a prequel written after the story titled An Act of Defiance that takes place a decade before the events of the original story, but only a couple of years after The Heroes of Olympus. And it has Leo as the one of the main protagonists. A preview of the prologue is scattered in some places of the internet.
