La profecía oscura

A once-immortal Apollo continues his harrowing quest for redemption, now trapped in the mortal body of a gawky teenager and stripped of his divine powers. Landing in Indianapolis with his demigod companions, the fallen god must navigate a perilous new prophecy that sends him into the heart of a sinister Roman emperor's stronghold. This second installment in the series masterfully blends high-stakes adventure with Riordan's signature self-deprecating humor, as Apollo's journey forces him to confront the very mortal fragility he once scorned.

Longtime fans of the Percy Jackson universe will delight in the return of beloved characters and the deeper exploration of the post-Trials world, where the consequences of past battles continue to ripple outward. The novel shines in its character development, particularly Apollo's gradual, often painful, growth from arrogant deity to empathetic hero, making this a standout for readers who appreciate emotional depth alongside mythological action. With breakneck pacing, clever dialogue, and a plot that satisfyingly expands the series' lore, this adventure proves both thrilling and surprisingly poignant.
