Author Description

Damian, former crippled slave, now the right hand to a powerful leader in the mystical city of Delphi is struggling to get by. Aloadae, his rival surreptitiously prevents him from receiving credit for his building designs. The priests have prophesied his marriage to his beloved Ariena will be childless, denying him the son he so desperately wants. Being childless, a former slave, and a cripple makes him feel inferior to the citizens of Delphi, and many agree. But, Damian's determination and spirit leads him to overcome these and many other difficult and life threatening obstacles as his destiny continues to unfold. As Damian embarks on his ambitious plan to defy the gods and defy his own destiny, he finds his fate inextricably entwined with that of the city of Delphi. At first, his ambition leads to excessive pride. Gradually, he learns that through friendship and love he can overcome even the darkest demons, and bring the most tortured of souls back to the light in this incredible brutal world.

Young adults, fans of historical fiction, and those fascinated by the vibrant mysticism of oracles, folklore, and myths will be drawn into the world that the author has created. Readers will be captivated by Damian's amazing adventures full of twists and turns as he rises from humble beginnings to the heights of power against the colorful backdrop of friends, menacing foes, and even gods.
