Book Two, The Child of the Erinyes series. A new myth from Ancient Greece. Epic historical fantasy inspired by Ariadne, Theseus, and the Minotaur. Chaucer First Place Award for Historical Fiction, Ancient History Category. Goddess Athene's white-hot rage incinerates Callisti and inflames the seas. Crete is left in ruins. Chrysaleon of Mycenae inherits the crown of an annihilated world. As death looms closer, he stumbles upon an ancient prophecy foretelling the rise of the Thinara King. This ruler will possess unimaginable power and upend sacred traditions. Commandeering the title could save his life. But it could also destroy everything he has fought to achieve, and create an easy path for the brother he hates to step in and steal it all. Will love transform him, or will he betray Aridela and defy the obligation of the labyrinth? The epic Bronze Age tale continues as Athene tests her champions beyond endurance, beyond rescue, beyond salvation. A note to readers from the author: This is Book Two of an interconnected reincarnation series. The first three books, set in the Bronze Age Mediterranean, tell the story of Aridela and the two Mycenaean brothers in three main arcs: while arc one is completed in Book One, arc two is completed in Book Two, and arc three is completed in Book Three, many secondary arcs and nuances of the overall series plot are NOT resolved, but carry on from book to book. I liken it to the weaving of a tapestry, wherein I gradually add colors, patterns, and intricacy as the work progresses. Those who prefer a story to be completely told and resolved in one volume will probably want to pass on The Child of the Erinyes , OR, I invite you to check out the digital boxed sets, which bundle three books into one. Happy Reading! "Lochlann weaves raw passion and black betrayal into an epic tale of destiny--a master storyteller at the height of her powers." Sulari Gentill, author of The Rowland Sinclair series and The Hero Trilogy, published by Pantera Press.
