In this fantasy novel, the Greek god Apollo is cast down to Earth in the form of a mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos as punishment from Zeus. Stripped of his divine powers, Apollo must navigate the challenges of modern-day New York City while seeking to regain his place on Mount Olympus. With the help of a young demigod named Meg McCaffrey, he embarks on a quest to restore the Oracles of Ancient Greece, which have mysteriously gone silent, and confronts various mythical creatures and adversaries along the way. Throughout his journey, Apollo learns valuable lessons about humility, friendship, and the importance of relying on others.
