Overview
Rick Riordan, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, brings his mythic universe full circle in this five-book paperback boxed set. Apollo, once the radiant god of prophecy, is cast down to Earth as an awkward mortal teenager and must earn back his immortality through a string of dangerous quests. Packed with humor, heart, and high-stakes battles, this complete series is a must-have for young readers, whether longtime fans of Camp Half-Blood or newcomers to Greek and Roman mythology.
About the Books
Across five novels, Rick Riordan traces Apollo's humbling fall from Olympus and his often hilarious climb back toward godhood. Stripped of his powers and renamed Lester Papadopoulos, Apollo relies on wit, loyal friends, and hard-won courage rather than divine strength to survive. The quest carries him from Camp Half-Blood to Indianapolis, the fire-scarred hills of Southern California, the shadowed edges of the Underworld, and finally back to Manhattan, as he works to free the Oracles of Delphi from the grip of villainous Roman emperors Nero, Commodus, and Caligula. Familiar faces from Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus return alongside a fresh cast, including Meg McCaffrey, a headstrong daughter of Demeter who becomes Apollo's reluctant companion and moral compass. Riordan balances laugh-out-loud banter with genuine emotional stakes, tackling humility, identity, friendship, and redemption as Apollo learns what it truly means to be a hero rather than a god. Accessible for middle-grade readers yet layered enough to reward older fans, this boxed set gathers the complete arc in one handsome package, perfect for experiencing Apollo's journey from disgraced god to reluctant hero, start to finish.
