The Trials of Apollo #5 : The Tower of Nero

Literary awards - Goodreads Choice Award for Middle Grade & Children's (2020).

As the dust settles on the battlefield of Camp Jupiter and the threat of Tarquin's undead army is vanquished, Apollo emerges alive, aided by the valiant Hunters of Artemis.

Yet, victory in one battle does not signify the end of the war. With the formidable emperor Nero looming as their final adversary, Apollo and Meg brace themselves for what may be their most perilous journey yet—their ultimate, and likely fatal, quest.

Their mission is clear: to confront Nero and eradicate his malevolent influence once and for all. But as they prepare for this climactic showdown, Apollo must grapple with the daunting task of reclaiming his godly form, while Meg confronts the shadows of her own troubled past.

Destiny beckons, and with it, the promise of both triumph and tragedy. Will Apollo rise again to his divine stature? Can Meg find the courage to confront her demons? Only time will tell as they embark on their final, fateful adventure.
