The Burning Maze

In the gripping third installment of Rick Riordan's 'The Trials of Apollo' series, the former god Apollo, now mortal teenager Lester Papadopoulos, faces his most daunting challenge yet. Exiled to Earth by his father Zeus, Lester must endure a series of perilous trials to reclaim his divine powers. His latest quest leads him into the treacherous depths of the Labyrinth, a mythical maze fraught with danger and mystery. His primary objective is to rescue an Oracle whose prophecies are maddeningly cryptic, while simultaneously confronting one of the three tyrannical Roman Emperors responsible for his predicament. Stripped of his godly abilities, Lester relies on the unwavering support of old friends and unexpected allies to navigate the maze's perils and overcome formidable foes. This trial will test his courage, wit, and nascent humanity as he battles not only monstrous adversaries but also his own fears and insecurities, all while striving to prevent a larger catastrophe looming over the demigod world. The edition also includes the bonus story 'Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot,' where Percy aids Clarisse in a thrilling chase to reclaim her father's lost chariot from her immortal brothers.
