Now, without his godly powers, the four-thousand-year-old deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favour.īut Apollo has many enemies-gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see the former Olympian permanently destroyed. Weak and disorientated, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. The only way he can fix things is at Camp Half-Blood, but his enemies are large and Apollo can’t do everything alone (as much as he’d like to do so).Īfter angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. But now he must regain Zeus’ favor to go back to Olympus.Īlong the way, he meets mini-sized street-demigod Meg and starts to uncover a plot far larger than a few evil misdeeds. He is cast down from Olympus and is stuck in mortal form as a teenage boy in New York. The Hidden Oracle, the first of Riordan’s new spinoff series, The Hidden Oracle, involves Apollo, the god of music, healing, and archery, and his fall from grace (or rather, Olympus). Another year, another growing pile of Rick Riordan books I need to read.
