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. "At the end of oblivion lies hope, and only she can find it." less

In the Moon of Asterion concludes the Bronze Age segment of the series.

A new myth from Ancient Greece. Winter, 1853. Every home in the village of Glenelg is burned, the residents deported or left to starve. Douglas Lawton refuses to put his family on the refugee ship, though his wife is in labor. She dies giving birth to a daughter whose paternity will always be questioned. These mountains in the remote West Highlands of Scotland offer a backdrop to the continuing story of three lives linked through time. A silenced but enduring goddess has seen her place in the souls of humans systematically destroyed, but she bides her time. For Athene, thousands of years mean nothing. Framed within the Clearances that ravaged the Highlands, one woman struggles with the restrictions placed upon her, and all women. Her buried psyche is that of a queen who possessed unlimited power, yet here, she is little more than a scullery maid. For thousands of years two men have fought for the heart of Athene's daughter. Will either triumph? What are the consequences of winning? Ancient prophecy is unfolding, leading our triad into the shadowed corridors of The Sixth Labyrinth. less
