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, 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 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.
Rick Riordan, dubbed “storyteller of the gods” by Publishers Weekly, is the author of five #1 New York Times bestselling middle-grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world, including Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which was adapted into an Emmy Award–winning live-action series on Disney+ that he cocreated and executive-produced. His latest novel, cowritten with Mark Oshiro, is The Court of the Dead: A Nico di Angelo Adventure. Rick lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with his wife and fellow executive producer, Becky.
