A #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
The Trials of Apollo (Book 1)

First in a new series from the “Storyteller of the Gods� (Publishers Weekly) and author of three #1 New York Times bestselling middle grade series.

After angering his father, Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. Now a weak and disoriented teenage boy in New York City, the four-thousand-year-old deity can think of only one place to go . . . an enclave of modern demigods known as Camp Half-Blood.

Rick Riordan, dubbed "Storyteller of the Gods" by "Publishers Weekly," is the author of three #1 "New York Times" best-selling middle grade series with millions of copies sold throughout the world: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, based on Greek mythology; the Kane Chronicles, based on Ancient Egyptian mythology; and the Heroes of Olympus, based on Greek and Roman mythology. Rick collaborated with illustrator John Rocco on two best-selling collections of Greek myths for the whole family: " Percy Jackson's Greek Gods "and" Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes." The first book in his Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy based on Norse mythology, "The Sword of Summer," also debuted at #1 on the "New York Times" list. Rick lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons. Follow him on Twitter at @camphalfblood.
