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. . . .

      Narrator Robbie Daymond is perfectly tuned in as events take a darker turn in this sequel to THE HIDDEN ORACLE. Trapped in a mortal teenaged body and continuing on his quest set out by Zeus, Apollo is forced to remember and relive painful moments from his past. He experiences heartbreak and humility yet maintains his godly self-absorption, which, in Daymond's capable performance, is eminently charming. Listeners will root for Apollo whether he's reciting haikus or doing something heroic in spite of himself. Daymond also provides distinct voices for the large cast of Apollo's comrades and enemies, but it's Apollo himself who shines brightest. There's plenty of adventure and humor here, and listeners will finish this installment already eager for the next one. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
