In his penultimate adventure, a devastated but determined Apollo travels to Camp Jupiter, where he must learn what it is to be a hero, or die trying.

It’s not easy being Apollo, especially when you’ve been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. On his path to restoring five ancient oracles and reclaiming his godly powers, Apollo (aka Lester Papadopoulos) has faced both triumphs and tragedies. Now his journey takes him to Camp Jupiter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Roman demigods are preparing for a desperate last stand against the evil Triumvirate of Roman emperors. Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Tyson, Ella, and many other old friends will need Apollo’s aid to survive the onslaught. Unfortunately, the answer to their salvation lies in the forgotten tomb of a Roman ruler . . . someone even worse than the emperors Apollo has already faced.

Antes era el glorioso dios Apolo.

Ahora es Lester, un simple mortal.

Con la ayuda de algunos amigos semidioses, Lester ha conseguido sobrevivir a las dos primeras pruebas: una en el Campamento Mestizo y la otra en Indianápolis, donde Meg recibió la profecía oscura. Las palabras que pronunció sentada en el Trono de la Memoria revelaron que un dream team de tres emperadores romanos supervillanos planea atacar el Campamento Júpiter.

Mientras Leo vuela a toda velocidad para alertar a los miembros del Campamento del peligro inminente , Lester y Meg deberán cruzar el Laberinto para encontrar al tercer emperador (y a un Oráculo que habla con juegos de palabras) en algún punto de suroeste de América. Por suerte, había un verso en la profecía que les da un poco de esperanza: Solo el guía ungulado sabe cómo no perderse. Está claro que van a tener un sátiro que les acompañe y Meg sabe exactamente a quién tiene que pedir este favor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Formerly the glorious god Apollo, he is now just Lester, a mere mortal. Don’t miss the last part of Rick Riordan’s most spectacular saga: The Trials of Apollo.
 
With the help of some demigods, Lester has managed to survive the first two trials: e 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 dream team 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…

Todo el mundo sabe que no hay que meterse con Zeus, pero su hijo Apolo parece no darse por aludido…No te pierdas esta segunda parte de la saga más espectacular de Rick Riordan: #LasPruebasDeApolo.Para castigar a Apolo, el dios del trueno decide mandarlo a la Tierra bajo la apariencia de Lester, un adolescente granujiento y sin poderes, claro. Ahora, el único modo que Apolo tiene de regresar al monte Olimpo es devolviendo la luz a las profecías de los oráculos que se han o curecido. Pero ¿qué podrá hacer un Apolo desprovisto de poderes?Tras superar una serie de pruebas peligrosísimas (y, para qué engañarnos, bastante humillantes) en el Campamento Mestizo, se embarcará en un viaje a través de Estados Unidos para conseguir localizar todos los oráculos. Por suerte, todo lo que ha perdido en poderes lo ha ganado en amistades, así que no va a tener que arreglárselas solo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONZeus 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. . . .
