Apollo’s final trial

The fifth and final Trials of Apollo book brings the former god Lester Papadopoulos to New York for a prophecy-led challenge at the Tower of Nero. The setup draws on Greek and Roman mythology, with Roman emperors among the series’ villains, and connects Apollo’s journey to the demigods and Camp Half-Blood. Meg accompanies Lester, while the description points to unresolved questions involving her father, Apollo’s enemy Python, and who will help at Camp Half-Blood. As the series finale, the book gathers threads from Apollo’s fall from Olympus and his efforts to regain his place there.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers following the Trials of Apollo series and its conclusion
  • Middle-grade fantasy readers interested in Greek and Roman mythology
  • Readers familiar with Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus characters
