The Tyrant's TombBy Rick Riordan
Middle Grade Mythology, Fantasy
Hardcover, Paperback & ebook, 448 Pages
September 24th 2019 by Disney-Hyperion
Summary
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.
What to Look Forward To
AN OLYMPIAN COMES TO EARTH: The protagonist is nothing less than Apollo himself! Well, actually, he’s a mortal sixteen-year-old trying to earn his way back into Zeus’s favor by restoring five oracles. How will he manage without his godly powers?
A GODLY POV: Apollo narrates the adventure; the disparity between his godly assumptions and his disappointing reality is hilarious.
FAVORITE DEMIGODS ARE BACK!: All the beloved characters from the Roman Camp Jupiter will aid Apollo in his quest.
VIPEROUS VILLAINS complicate matters for our heroes as they search for the ancient Oracles.
DIVERSITY: As always, Rick includes characters from all kinds of backgrounds.
NEW YORK TIMES #1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MANY TIMES OVER: Riordan's last twenty books have debuted at #1.
