The Burning Maze

　　惹怒父親宙斯的太陽神阿波羅被一腳踢出奧林帕斯山，流落凡間又失去法力的他，化身為一名十六歲的孱弱青年萊斯特。

　　萊斯特想重返奧林帕斯山，在半神朋友的幫助下，萊斯特克服了前兩次危機：一次在半人半神的混血營，一次在印第安納波利斯，而且這次，狄密特之女梅格接獲了闇黑預言，顯示羅馬皇帝計畫攻擊舊金山的羅馬營地朱比特營。

　　當混血半神李奧先行前往警告羅馬營地時，萊斯特與梅格卻必須遠赴拉比林特斯迷宮，尋找藏在迷宮中心的先知。但迷宮中有著致命威脅：第三位羅馬皇帝，也是最惡毒、最嗜血的一位羅馬皇帝。幸好充滿灰色憂鬱的預言隱含著一絲希望：他們將會有一個伴侶，而梅格知道應該要去拜訪誰……。（文 / 博客來編譯）

　　The formerly glorious god Apollo, cast down to earth in punishment by Zeus, is now an awkward mortal teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. In order to regain his place on Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. But he has to achieve this impossible task without having any godly powers and while being duty-bound to a confounding young daughter of Demeter named Meg. Thanks a lot, Dad.

　　With the help of some demigod friends, Lester managed to survive his first two trials, one at Camp Half-Blood, and one in Indianapolis, where Meg received the Dark Prophecy. The words she uttered while seated on the Throne of Memory revealed that an evil triumvirate of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Festus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg must go through the Labyrinth to find the third emperor--and an Oracle who speaks in word puzzles--somewhere in the American Southwest. There is one glimmer of hope in the gloom-filled prophecy: The cloven guide alone the way does know. They will have a satyr companion, and Meg knows just who to call upon. . . .
