Trials of Apollo, The Book Two: Dark Prophecy, The-Trials of Apollo, The Book Two
Description
Apollo, an awesome god turned awkward mortal, journeys across North America
with some demigod friends on his quest to regain Zeus’s favor in Book Two of
Rick Riordan’s uproarious Trials of Apollo series. “A clash of mythic
intrigues and centuries of pop culture to thrill die-hard and new fans alike.”
–Kirkus Reviews 1 New York Times best-selling seriesRick Riordan is
considered the “storyteller of the gods” because of his five 1 New York Times
bestselling series based on mythologyA continuation of the Percy Jackson saga,
but it also stands aloneA new take on Greek and Roman mythology from the point
of view of a fallen godBrings back beloved demigod characters from the Percy
Jackson and Heroes of Olympus seriesIntroduces new demigodsVillains are based
on Roman emperorsFeatures a diverse cast with people from all kinds of
backgrounds and lifestylesPerfect for middle schoolers but can be enjoyed by
older readers, too Zeus has punished his son Apollo–god of the sun, music,
archery, poetry, and more–by casting him down to earth in the form of a
gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo
can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several
Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can
Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a
series of dangerous–and frankly, humiliating–trials at Camp Half-Blood,
Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and
embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Somewhere in the
American Midwest, he and his companions must find the most dangerous Oracle
from ancient times: a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his
quest to become a god again–if it doesn’t kill him or drive him insane first.
Standing in Apollo’s way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate, a Roman
emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. To
survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of son of Hephaestus Leo
Valdez, the now-mortal sorceress Calypso, the bronze dragon Festus, and other
unexpected allies–some familiar, some new–from the world of demigods. Come
along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. .
