Rick Riordan

A breathtaking new series from Percy Jackson creator, Rick Riordan. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. He must learn to survive in modern-day New York until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus's favour.

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, 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 . . .

The Tyrant's Tomb (The Trials of Apollo Book 4)

I WAS A GOD, ONCE. UNTIL I WAS CAST OUT BY MY FATHER, ZEUS. 
 
NOW I'M AN AWKWARD MORTAL TEENAGER CALLED LESTER. 
 
My way out? A series of scary and dangerous trials, of course. 
 
For my third mission, I must: 
 
Journey through the Labyrinth to free an Oracle who only speaks in puzzles. Which sounds easy. Then, defeat the most vicious of three very vicious Roman Emperors. 
 
Is that all? No, I have to do everything without any of my godly powers. Wonderful. Looks like I'll need all the help I can get - from new friends, and old . . .
