Produktbeschreibung

On the day of his birth, Prince Alexos is revealed to be the long-awaited champion of Athene. It will be his task to restore the kingdom to the favor of the godsbut no one knows exactly how.

Alexos grows up lonely in his greatness, conscious of all that is expected of him. But it soon becomes clear that being the chosen one is not about fame and glory. It's all about sacrifice and courage, and he is being tested.

Alexos follows the course of his destiny through war and loss on the borderlands and a deadly confrontation with his enemy to its ultimate end: shipwreck on a magical, fog-shrouded island. There he meets the unforgettable Aria, the girl he's loved for years but has seen only in his dreams, and faces the greatest challenge of his life.

Master storyteller Diane Stanley weaves an epic tale of warring kingdoms, shock-ing betrayal, and forgiveness inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest and set in a mythical ancient Greece.
