The Hidden Oracle

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.

The Dark Prophecy

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 that 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.

The Burning Maze

He was a God once. Until he was cast out by 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 ruthless Roman Emperors, all without the use of his godly powers.

The Tyrant's Tomb

Things are getting terrible, 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.

The Tower of Nero

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 the battle may have been won, but the war is far from over. Now Apollo and Meg must prepare 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.
