The Hidden Oracle
BESTSELLER ALERT — here’s the first installment in an exciting new five-book quest adventure about gods and demigods by #1 bestselling author Rick Riordan.
How do you punish an immortal?
By making him human.
After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. Now the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world without his godly powers, until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor.
But Apollo has many enemies — gods, monsters, and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go…an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.
