Synopsis

The second book in the latest series from international bestselling author, Rick Riordan

He was once an immortal God, now he's an awkward teenager. Things aren't going well for Apollo.

There's only one way he can earn back Zeus' favour, and that's to seek and restore the ancient oracles - but that's easier said than done.

Apollo must head to the American Midwest where, rumour has it, a haunted cave may hold answers.

There are a few things standing in his way though. The cave could kill him, or drive him insane.

Oh, and a Roman Emperor, whose love of bloodshed makes Nero look tame.

To stay alive, Apollo needs the help of a mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar faces from Camp Half-Blood.

Will he survive the greatest challenge of his four thousand year existence?

From the Back Cover:

The second title in Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series - set in the action-packed world of Percy Jackson.

The god Apollo, cast down to earth and trapped in the form of a gawky teenage boy as punishment, must set off on the second of his harrowing (and hilarious) trials.

He and his companions seek the ancient oracles - restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done.

Somewhere in the American Midwest is a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again . . . if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame.

To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of a now-mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar demigod faces from Camp Half-Blood. With them by his side, can Apollo face down the greatest challenge of his four thousand years of existence?
