The second title in Rick Riordan´s Trials of Apollo series. Apollo and his companions seek the ancient oracles, and restoring them is the only way for Apollo to reclaim his place on Mount Olympus - but this is easier said than done. Standing in Apollo´s way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate - a Roman emperor with a love of bloodshed and spectacle.

The second book in the latest series from international bestselling author, Rick Riordan

He was once an immortal God, now he´s an awkward teenager. Things aren´t going well for Apollo.

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, 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.

To stay alive, Apollo needs the help of a mortal goddess, a bronze dragon, and some familiar faces from Camp Half-Blood.

Will he survive the greatest challenge of his four thousand year existence?
