Titan
Young adult historical fantasy
Publisher: Arete Publishing Publication date: Jan 15th, 2018 Zeus, Father of Gods and men, god of sky and thunder, the Cloud-gatherer, wielder of the mighty thunderbolt. But once, long ago, Zeus was none of those things. He was a young man, blissfully ignorant of his destiny, content to walk the shores of Crete by day and sleep in a cave at night, watched over by his foster mother, the nymph, Almathea. Aided by his cousins, the Titan Prometheus and beautiful Metis, Zeus learns that he is a wanted man and that his brothers and sisters are held captive. His father, the dread Titan King Cronus, wants him dead. Zeus has no choice but to end his isolation and embark on a quest to free his family before Cronus finds him. Their journey will take them to the starlit heavens, the crushing depths of the oceans and to the darkest, bleakest pit of Tartarus itself. There, Zeus will seek to fulfil a prophecy and commit an act condemned by both gods and men for all eternity: To destroy his own father. Where can you get this book?

"I wasn’t expecting to be swept away, but I was, into the port of Iraklion, Knossos, the once glorious capital of Crete...MINOTAUR is such a well-written, entertaining story, and could very well be, the true tale of the Minotaur. A great YA read!"
