Seeing no other option to end the pending war, Thais' mother strikes a bargain with their Mother Goddess, trading her life for her daughter's future. Yet the biggest threat to the people of Tiryns is not the soldiers in the plains but the growing division within the city. "For what is beautiful is always under threat from those jealous enough to take it for their own."In 1650 BC, King Oceanus, a self-proclaimed lord of the sea, arrives with his soldiers on the shore of Tiryns and begins a struggle for power and dominance. Thais, the Tiryns chieftain's daughter, is caught between her father's wish for peace without bloodshed, and the senior councilman's desire to wage war. A gripping historical drama-the origin of Greek mythology's Medusa is uniquely explored and reimagined in this epic work of historical fiction that takes us back to Ancient Greece during the rise of the Mycenaeans.
