Overview
Step into Rick Riordan's electrifying Trials of Apollo, a five-book Young Adult collection that reunites readers with the god Apollo, cast out of Olympus and reborn as an awkward mortal teenager named Lester. Racing against monsters, rogue emperors, and his own bruised ego, Apollo must restore the ancient Oracles before Olympus falls to ruin. Familiar demigods from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter join the quest, delivering Riordan's trademark mix of mythology, humor, and heart. This set brings the saga together, ideal for fans of Percy Jackson and readers hungry for one more mythic adventure before Apollo's story reaches its conclusion.

About the Books
Across The Hidden Oracle, The Dark Prophecy, The Burning Maze, The Tyrant's Tomb, and The Tower of Nero, Rick Riordan reimagines Greek and Roman mythology through the eyes of a god learning to be human. Zeus strips Apollo of his powers and drops him into modern-day New York as a gawky sixteen-year-old, forcing him to serve a demigod master and prove himself worthy of reclaiming Olympus. The quest carries Apollo and his companions from a hidden oracle beneath Camp Half-Blood to the tunnels of Indianapolis, the wildfires of California, the catacombs of Rome, Louisiana, and finally back to New York for a last stand against the deified Roman emperors known as the Triumvirate. Familiar faces from Riordan's earlier series reappear alongside new heroes, including Meg McCaffrey, a fierce young demigod daughter of Demeter who becomes Apollo's reluctant partner in disaster. Each installment layers fresh prophecies, monstrous threats, and political intrigue onto Apollo's personal journey toward humility and self-understanding. Riordan balances laugh-out-loud banter with genuine emotional stakes, exploring identity, redemption, friendship, and the cost of power without losing his brisk, page-turning pace. Longtime readers will catch callbacks to Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus, while newcomers can still follow Apollo's fall and rise as a self-contained adventure. The five books build steadily toward an epic showdown, delivering satisfying growth for Apollo and his allies as the once-vain god learns what it truly means to be a hero.
