Description
The great Minoan island is waning. Famine spreads, the gods fall silent, and from the north the Achaeans advance, hungering for power across the sea. In Phaistos, Ide, daughter of the archon, is promised to Agathon, prince of Pylos - a union meant to save her people through alliance rather than war. Yet her heart belongs to Geros, captain of the Phaistian fleet, whose loyalty has long shielded Crete from danger. As Ide sails towards distant Pylos, she begins to doubt the purpose of her marriage. The Achaeans speak of peace, yet their gifts conceal the shadow of conquest. Can Agathon be trusted - or is he the instrument of a subtler invasion?Meanwhile, strange omens trouble the palaces of Crete, and the old faith begins to crumble. Caught between love, duty, and the fate of her homeland, Ide must uncover the truth before both Phaistos and her heart are lost to a new and perilous age.Written by Leipzig-based author Heike Wolff, this novel brings the lost world of Minoan Crete vividly to life, blending meticulous research with a powerful human story of love, loyalty, and loss.
