The Red Year lasted eleven months. One for each fallen god.
Erebus, son of Hades and Slayer of Gods, now rules the Realm of Men beneath the Crown of Cronus - a power older than the world, long forbidden.
Olympus has been sealed. Worship of the old gods is punishable by death.
No one dares defy him. Yet even Erebus has something to fear.
An ancient oracle foretells the coming of a child who will bring down his dynasty.
But the greatest threat to his throne is not the child.
It is the very crown he wears.
Not a retelling. An original epic built on Greek myth.
For four hundred years, Greek history fell silent. This is why.
GREECE
Every place in this book is real.
Epirus
The river the dead were said to cross. Its waters belonged to the Boatman, who ferried souls beyond the world of the living.
DID YOU KNOW Homer sends Odysseus here to speak with the dead. The gorge is still so narrow in places that the sun reaches the water only at midday.
THESSALY
The place where the Centaurs lived. Achilles, Jason, and Theseus trained under Chiron's wisdom. At its foot lay Iolcus, the kingdom from which the Argonauts set sail.
DID YOU KNOW The exact site of Chiron’s cave has never been identified. Today, Pelion is known for its stone-built villages and forested slopes.
Thessaly
Once home to the Gods. Now sealed by the Godslayer. Its sacred paths are forbidden, and those who still worship the fallen gods face death.
DID YOU KNOW The highest summit of Mount Olympus, Mytikas, was first recorded as climbed in 1913.
Epirus
Where the Acheron slowed into marsh, the Greeks placed the oracle of the dead. Here, the living sought answers from souls that had passed into the Underworld.
DID YOU KNOW Pilgrims to the Nekromanteion fasted for days and walked a dark maze of corridors before the souls were said to answer. The lake itself was drained in the twentieth century.
ANAVATOS MEANS IMPASSABLE.
We climb toward it, knowing we may never arrive.
And hoping we never do.
