City of the Plague God is an action-packed mythology adventure from the bestselling Rick Riordan Presents series. Written by Sarwat Chadda, this thrilling novel blends Mesopotamian mythology, humour, monsters and epic quests into an unforgettable fantasy adventure.

Thirteen-year-old Sik Aziz wants nothing more than a normal life balancing school and helping at his family’s deli in New York City. But everything changes when the ancient god Nergal appears searching for the secret to eternal life—and believes Sik possesses it. Soon Sik discovers a shocking truth: he is immortal, and his hidden powers may place all of Manhattan in danger.

Joined by Belet, the fierce adopted daughter of Ishtar, goddess of love and war, and the legendary hero Gilgamesh, Sik embarks on a dangerous mission to recover the mythical Flower of Immortality before disease and destruction consume the city. Facing demons, ancient gods and terrifying nightmares, Sik must learn what it truly means to be a hero.
