The 1st book in a breathtaking new series from Rick Riordan. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Weak and disoriented, he lands in New York City as a regular teenage boy. But Apollo has many enemies - gods, monsters and mortals who would love to see him permanently destroyed. Apollo needs help, and he can think of only one place to go. . .
