Face the Darkness at Camp Jupiter

The Trials of Apollo: The Tyrant’s Tomb plunges the humbled sun god, Apollo—now the mortal teenager Lester Papadopoulos—into one of his greatest trials. Still reeling from profound loss, he arrives at Camp Jupiter only to find it under siege, threatened by the sinister influence of the Triumvirate of Roman emperors.

His divine task? To restore the fourth hidden oracle. This dangerous quest leads him deep into the chilling Tyrant’s Tomb, an ancient, malevolent sepulchre where the spirit of Emperor Tarquin holds sway, endangering both the living and the dead. Alongside the fierce demigod Meg McCaffrey, Apollo must navigate complex Roman rituals, earn the trust of Camp Jupiter’s formidable leaders like Hazel, Reyna, Frank, and Tyson, and confront the unsettling truth that true heroism often demands more than mere divine power.

As undead legions rise and the ancient whispers of Tarquin echo through the catacombs, Apollo faces his ultimate test::

• Embracing his human vulnerability
• Atone for millennia of arrogance
• Unite demigods against an overwhelming tyrannical threat
