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. . . .

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan (San Antonio, Texas, 1964) es el autor de la exitosa serie de novelas de misterio protagonizadas por el detective Jackson Tres Navarre, galardonada con los más prestigiosos premios en su género. Igualmente exitosos han sido los libros sobre Percy Jackson, el niño que un día descubre que es hijo de un dios de la Antigüedad y tiene una importantísima misión que cumplir. Esta serie, que empezó siendo un cuento para leer a su hijo antes de acostarlo, está basada en sus experiencias como profesor de mitología de niños con dificultades de aprendizaje. Los dos primeros títulos han sido llevados al cine por Chris Columbus, director de las dos primeras entregas de «Harry Potter».
