Description

Zeus has punished his son Apollo--god of the sun, music, archery, poetry,
and more--by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered
sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his
rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have
gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do
anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of
dangerous--and frankly, humiliating--trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must
now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on
a hair-raising journey across North America. Somewhere in the American
Midwest, he and his companions must find the most dangerous Oracle from
ancient times: 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 son of
Hephaestus Leo Valdez, the now-mortal sorceress Calypso, the bronze dragon
Festus, and other unexpected allies--some familiar, some new--from the
world of demigods. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing,
hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . . Includes the first chapter of The
Trials of Apollo Book 3: THE BURNING MAZE, plus the first chapters of two
Rick Riordan Presents novels: THE STORM RUNNER by J. C. Cervantes, based on
Mayan mythology, and DRAGON PEARL by Yoon Ha Lee, a space opera with
elements of Korean mythology.
