What do a gnome, a moon hound, a bat, and a cute dachshund have in common? Her name is Aggy and she’s been called to protect as a Lares– an ancient Roman deity. Except…she doesn’t know she’s a Lares…and she doesn’t really believe in magic…and she has no idea what to do with the naked gnome in her kitchen.

What could possibly go wrong?

Step into the Bronze Age….

For time beyond memory, Crete has sacrificed its king to ensure good harvests, ward off earthquakes, and please the Goddess. Men compete in brutal trials to win the title of Zagreus, the sacred bull-king, even though winning means they’ll die in a year.

Two brothers from Mycenae search for weaknesses in this rich, coveted society, hoping to trick the competition and its formidable reckoning.

Hindering their goal is the seductive and fearless Cretan princess, Aridela, an uncommon woman neither brother can resist, and ancient prophecies that promise terrible retribution to any who threaten Goddess Athene’s people.

A woman of keen instinct and unshakable loyalty. A proud warrior prince and his wounded half-brother. Glory, passion, treachery and conspiracy on the grandest scale.

What seems the end is only the beginning.
