Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The fourth title in Rick Riordan's Trials of Apollo series, set in the funny, mythical, and action-packed world of Percy Jackson. The bestselling top 10 hardback, now in paperback.

Things are getting very bad, very fast, for Apollo...

The former god Apollo is having a pretty rough time of it. For one thing, he's been turned into a human, banished from Olympus, and is now called Lester. But being an awkward mortal teenager is the least of his worries right now.

Though he and some of his friends have emerged from the Burning Maze, they still have a triumvirate to defeat, oracles to rescue, and prophecies to decipher, so that the world may be saved, and Lester can become Apollo once again.

But right now, Caligula is sailing to San Francisco to deal with Camp Jupiter personally, and they have to get there first. Failure to do so would risk its destruction...
