This book introduces the reader to Caenus of Iolkos (modern Volos), an unassuming and undistinguished prince, who sets out to prove his worth at an ancient contest of might and skill. While competing in Apollo’s Tournament in Corinth, Caenus meets two people who alter his life’s path; Makedon, a brash and ruthless prince from Neapolis (modern Kavala), and Adriande, a peasant girl from Corinth, who is not all she seems. Romance begins to brew as Caenus becomes smitten with the elusive Adriande, who later unexpectedly disappears. The hands of the gods guide Caenus and Makedon toward a final showdown in the tournament, during which an unethical act is performed to secure victory… the genesis of what becomes a bitter rivalry fueled by bad blood. Tension roils to a fevered pitch when Caenus is later blindsided by a revelation he never could have seen coming. Caenus is unwittingly thrust into a set of events that test his faith, his mettle, and his love for Adriande, sending him to the farthest reaches of the Aegean Sea and The Underworld.
