Icarus and the Wing Builder

COME BACK to an age of goddesses, heroes, and men. Icarus and the Wing Builder is a recreation and retelling of the myth of the first human flight. In this latest book the author follows Daedalus, the famed inventor of Greek mythology, as he is driven from his native Athens across the sea to the capital of the powerful Minoan maritime empire. There, the inventor builds a renowned labyrinth, a new life for himself and his son, and becomes embroiled in a breathtaking love affair with a woman who will stop at nothing in order to become a sovereign. As Icarus grows into manhood, the father finds himself drawn into inexorable conflict with his benefactor, Minos the king. Eventually the heroes become outcasts, forced to flee from the palace in search of a way off the island . . . and discovering much more.
