Ungodly Wealth

di Thomas Boyd (Autore)

Thomas Boyd, 2021

Only once in the span of uncounted lifetimes does the world change so utterly. But more than three thousand years ago, lost in the dim centuries of Greece's prehistoric past, an angry island god is about to unleash terror. This is the Bronze Age, a time when the rich culture of Minoan Crete casts its spell over the eastern Mediterranean and in Greece itself the age-old way of life is on the brink of change. Rapi, a naïve young man from a small coastal village, has never known much in the way of adventure and excitement. Here in the Aegean world of 1608 BC, his narrow world is about to change when his wily sea-trader uncle, Aitol, enlists him to serve as a deck hand. He has no idea that his uncle's vessel carries a hidden cargo of immense value. The timing couldn't be worse—when they set course for the island of Atlantis they have no idea that it is fated to be destroyed. After surviving the destruction Rapi finds himself tracked by a murderous Achaian warrior who will stop at nothing to seize his uncle's valuable cargo. After forging an unlikely friendship with a Cretan fresco painter, the two of them find themselves in a life-threatening confrontation with the Achaian and his countrymen. Having infiltrated Rapi's homeland, they bring the worship of new gods, ones with strange names like Athena and Poseidon, and Apollo and Aphrodite. Rapi's world is about to change in more ways than one.
