De gale guder, mytologiske monstre og seje helte er tilbage i Rick Riordans nye serie Olympens helte. Percy er forvirret. Han kan knap nok huske sit eget navn, og selv efter at ulven Lupa har fortalt ham, at han er en halvgud og trænet ham til kamp med en besynderlig fyldepen, er der stadig meget, som ikke giver mening. På en eller anden måde lykkes det ham at finde vej til en lejr for halvguder, men lejren føles ikke rigtig.

He was once an immortal God, now he's an awkward teenager. Things aren't going well for Apollo. There's only one way he can earn back Zeus' favour, and that's to seek and restore the ancient oracles - but that's easier said than done. Apollo must head to the American Midwest where, rumour has it, a haunted cave may hold answers. There are a few things standing in his way though. The cave could kill him, or drive him insane. Oh, and a Roman Emperor, whose love of bloodshed makes Nero look tame.

Things are getting very bad, very fast, for Apollo . . . The former God Apollo is having a pretty rough time of it. Well, for one thing, he's been turned into a human and banished from Olympus.

Though he and some of his friends have emerged from the Burning Maze, rescued the Oracle and lived to fight another day, they can't escape the tragedy that has befallen them, or the terrible trials still to face.
