BLURB:
Once a warrior, now a fugitive.
Spartan fighter Theron has done the unthinkable—he’s disobeyed orders and fled Sparta. All for his helot lover, Andreas. They can run, or they can die.
They’ve sworn oaths to Apollo; now their future lies in the god’s sacred city. The road to Delphi runs through treacherous wilderness, filled with vengeful warriors, greedy bandits, and savage creatures. Nor are the cities safe for strangers wearing the red cloaks of the Spartan military.
Once slated for execution at Theron’s hand, Andreas finds it hard to trust the man who betrayed him. Forgiving Theron grows easier for Andreas with every step they take. He isn’t ready to trust Theron with his heart again—but remembering why is getting harder and harder.
A god’s scheming places a fellow exile in their path, Theron’s shield-brother Coridan. Still reeling from his own tragedy, Coridan could be the force that tears them apart forever, or who brings them together in Apollo’s service.
Three different men, three different pasts, who must unite in a common destiny.
If they can survive.
REVIEW:
Well I hope there’s a 4th book. Lol. The author leaves the stories hanging right at a good part. Grrrrr. I’m really into this series. I’m fascinated by Greek mythology and I’m still really loving the research that’s going into these books.
Theron and Andreas are now going to Delphi. Apollo has commissioned them. For what they don’t know yet but when Apollo calls, you answer. They are still looking for Coridan on their way, hoping and praying he hasn’t killed himself. They finally find him and discover he’s being sent to Delphi as well. But Theron and Andreas can tell Coridan is a shell of his former self. He’s putting weight back on but the damage has been done. Losing Lysander was a huge blow for Coridan. But now they are making the journey together. They have no idea what’s in store for them but surely it’s better then where they were. They hope for a new life, a chance to heal and move on. The journey isn’t easy but they pray it will be worth it.
Well things are still a little tense between Andreas and Theron. They have to rebuild the trust and things they lost. And finding Coridan gives new tensions. Andreas can’t help but think he’s beautiful and can’t keep his eyes off him, and Theron isn’t happy about it. Comforting Coridan from nightmare one night, though, proves that even though they want to pleasure Coridan and help him heal and forget, the love they have for each other is more important. They only love each other. Andreas is having a hard time with other stuff too. Not being a warrior, to harm or kill someone, even in self defense, is hurting him. He doesn’t know how to deal with it. This journey is life changing for all three of them. They are learning things about themselves and each other. And it’s not always an easy lesson.
Really hope there’s a book 4. Really, really do. There was much left unsaid and to do. But so far it’s good. I think you guys would like them.
