Author Description

More than three millennia ago, during the Age of Legends, an Anatolian youth departed the mortal world to dwell among the Undying - what people call gods. From that time to this, as deathless and un-aging as legend claims, Ganumedos Troides has watched human history unfold; the wondrous rise and calamitous ruin of heroes, empires, and religions alike. Now he's returned to the world of the Dying, revealing long-forgotten truths that underlie the greatest of legends. In Troidai, Ganymede weaves the tale of his mortal life in Bronze Age Idaea; the land destined to host the most famous military conflict of the ancient world. From his childhood as a hostage in the stronghold of an usurper-king to his startling rise as Seer-Prince and ultimate exile as a nameless shepherd, Ganymede confronts political intrigue and orgiastic rites in a world on the brink of monumental change, all the while tormented by the adoration of the gods themselves.
