A brief summary of Book 1… (‘The Hidden Oracle‘)
How do you punish a god?
By making him human.
After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. He lands in New York, weak and disorientated, in the body of 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 favour.
But after four thousand years, 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.
