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

He was a God once. Until he was cast out his father, Zeus. Now, he's an awkward teenager. Called Lester.

The only way out is a series of scary and dangerous trials, of course.

For his third trial, Apollo must journey through the Labyrinth to free an Oracle who only speaks in puzzles.
Then, defeat the most vicious of three very vicious Roman Emperors.
(All without the use of his godly powers.)

It looks like he will need all the help he can get - from some new and old friends.

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?

The latest series from international bestselling author, Rick Riordan

He was once an immortal God. Now, he's a teenage boy called Lester.

Apollo has angered his father Zeus for the last time.

So, how do you punish an immortal?

By making him human. Obviously.

Cast down from Olympus, he's weak, disorientated and stuck in New York City as a teenage boy.

It's the first time he's been without his powers, and he has to survive in the modern world.

Which isn't an easy feat for a four-thousand-year old deity, especially one with as many enemies as he has.

Apollo needs help, and he can only think of one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

It's time to face the final trial . . .

The battle for Camp Jupiter is over. New Rome is safe. Tarquin and his army of the undead have been defeated. Somehow Apollo has made it out alive, with a little bit of help from the Hunters of Artemis.

But though the battle may have been won, the war is far from over.

Now Apollo and Meg must get ready for the final - and, let's face it, probably fatal - adventure. They must face the last emperor, the terrifying Nero, and destroy him once and for all.

Can Apollo find his godly form again? Will Meg be able to face up to her troubled past? Destiny awaits . . .

The fourth book in Rick Riordan's The Trial of Apollo series. The bestselling top 10 hardback, now available in paperback!

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

The former God Apollo is having a pretty rough time of it. Well, for one thing, he's been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. And he's 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, rescued the Oracle and lived to fight another day, they can't escape the tragedy that has befallen them, or the terrible trials still to face.

So, with heavy heart, Apollo (OK, Lester) and Meg have a triumvirate still to defeat, oracles to rescue, and prophecies to decipher, so that the world may be saved, and Lester may ascend into the heavens to 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 would mean its destruction . . .
