Two boys, both in need of someone to help, to hold, to heal with. After a nasty attempt to end his own life, Nico was fustrated with himself.. but mainly lonely. That emotion hadn't come into play for a long time, he wasn't used to it. And he didn't like it. Leo Valdez, the boy who liked fire way too much and wasn't afraid of anything. Well until he stood on the roof of a building. About to jump. That scares you a bit. They cross paths one day, in not the way you think it'd happen.

THE COVER IS A COMBINATION OF TWO PIECES OF ART WHICH I SIMPLY CLIPPED TOGETHER, BUT I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT. - After losing Meg to the Emperor Nero and finally getting the first prophecy after six months, Apollo, Leo, and Calypso are headed on a journey to stop Nero, the Beast, from controlling all the oracles. However, Apollo and the group will still face many challenges that are to come. With another prophecy and an ancient roman maniac on the loose, who knows what the future holds. With Apollo wanting to find Meg McCaffrey, Leo to be reunited with his friends once again, and Calypso unsure on what she wants, the journey will more than definitely be challenging, not just because of their enemies, but themselves as well. And out of all, will Apollo ever get his godly powers back, or will his punishment from Zeus be eternal, and be forced to stay in the body of a 16 year old boy named Lester Papadopoulos?
