This plot-driven story keeps you guessing right to the last sentence!" -Goodreads reviewer "Gritty and haunting and will linger in your mind for days." -Amazon reviewer "Five stars! The author sticks true to Greek mythology and has amazing characters and an amazing story to show for it. Well-researched and action-packed!" -Amazon reviewer "I highly recommend this book for those who love mythology.
