Books like The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan

After Zeus banishes Apollo to Earth, the god assumes the mortal life of the awkward teenager Lester Papadopoulos. To return to Mount Olympus, Lester must restore five Oracles that have gone dark. He faces this daunting task without his divine powers, guided by the young daughter of Demeter, Meg. With help from demigod friends, Lester tackles two initial trials—one at Camp Half‑Blood and another in Indianapolis, where Meg encounters the Dark Prophecy. The ominous words spoken on the Throne of Memory hint that a trio of Roman emperors plans to attack Camp Jupiter. While Leo flies ahead on Ferus to warn the Roman camp, Lester and Meg enter the Labyrinth to locate the third emperor and an Oracle who speaks in riddles, somewhere within the American Southwest. Their journey is fraught with danger but also bolstered by a satyr companion and Meg’s knowledge of allies.
