Description
The sword is mightier than the scroll in the Bronze Age. Half-brothers, Prince Callias and Prince Theseus, are sent by their father, King Aegeus of Athens, on a two-fold mission to King Minos' realm of Knossos. First, kill the monstrous Minotaur, who, the rumours say, feasts on Greek hostages. Second, discover the secret formulae of the mysterious new metal used to make the weapons of the marauding Sea People. Failure means certain death, not just for the naïve princes, but for known civilization. The young princes need to grow up in a hurry... Travel back in time to the late Bronze Age in this debut novel by Alex Arthur, where warfare, slavery and brutality were part of everyday life. Fans of Ken Follett and Bernard Cornwall will appreciate the meticulous research that has gone into this novel. Based on Greek Mythology and historical and archaeological fact, its heroic battles and epic quests will both educate and enthral the reader.
