In a world rooted in Mediterranean history and mythology, Andrion, son of a warrior-king and an Amazon queen, thinks his crown is secure. But he has no heir, and mysterious figures are attacking his allies. He must set aside his crown to face not only a supernatural enemy but a precocious child, his own nephew Gard. “These books are a fine series which shows a good historical background.” —Timothy Lane “Fantasy that is woven upon a weft of solid classical knowledge, yet is also colored by a creative imagination of great scope and power. An alternate reality that will live inside the mind long after the book is finished.” —Ardath Mayhar
