Book Overview
The House of Atreus continues in this gripping third novel of the completed seven-book saga. It's a sweeping blend of Greek mythology, historical epic, science fiction, and dark fantasy that reimagines the legendary fall of Bronze Age Greece.
Seven years have passed since King Agamemnon was murdered. His exiled son, Orestes, has come of age. Now Apollo demands that he fulfill his duty.
Orestes has spent his life preparing for this moment. Tradition is clear. Justice demands the deaths of the murderers: his own mother and her lover. But Apollo's justice is easier for those who need not wield the knife.
Orestes enters the palace he once called home and finds a kingdom built on secrets. His sister Electra is hiding her pregnancy from the murderous Aegisthus. Another innocent child stands in the path of vengeance. And beneath the palace lies an ancient intelligence that has spent generations turning fear into rage, prophecy into certainty, and revenge into destiny.
And Orestes begins to question the voices that have guided his own life and his entire family for generations. If he obeys the commands given to him, he may destroy everything worth preserving. But if he refuses...
The curse was never in the blood. It was always in the choice.
Now Orestes must decide whether the House of Atreus ends with him... or begins anew.
