The tyranny of the gods is absolute, and they are capricious, malevolent
and almost all-powerful, playing cruel games with the fates of mortals
for their own ends . . .
A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this
tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich,
compelling and original read from a master of the historical and fantasy
genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to
survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or
pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched
mortals - a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be
brought together in a conspiracy of their own.
A conspiracy to reach the heavens, and take down the corrupt and aging
gods . . . who are already facing troubles of their own . . .
An epic which draws on the Greek mythology of gods and heroes, this new
trilogy is a must read for fans of Dan Simmons and Madeline Miller
alike.
