The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in
punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named
Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount
Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark.
But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any
godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young
daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad. With the help
of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two
trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where
Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while
seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate
of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies
ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go
through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle
who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest.
There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The
cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr
companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .
