Description
The exciting new historical novel in Mark Knowles' Blades of Bronze series. You've read the myths of Ancient Greece... now see how life really was in the Age of Heroes.
Decades after the fabled voyage of Argo, the last remaining Argonauts are scattered to the corners of the Greek world, old men living on past glories.
The great victory at Troy is naught but a memory. The Age of Heroes is dead. The Sea People are coming.
With the enemy inearly at the gates. Only one young man can rise up, channel the spirit of the Argonauts, and inspire and renew the heroism of old: Xandros, callow grandson of the great Jason. His mission is a desperate one, and it may yet be too late. Will the old world crumble and burn, or will a new hero rise to victory?

'A deeply researched historical epic, so brilliantly brought to life I could taste the salt air on my tongue.' Adam Lofthouse

An enchanting tale told by Orpheus of the days after Greek myth ends and the days of the Sea Peoples began. Of boys trying to find the hero or villain in themselves.

"Hades" is a captivating journey into the realm of mythology that I thoroughly enjoyed. The author skillfully weaves together mythological themes, history, and a compelling narrative in a way that keeps the reader utterly engaged.
What truly stands out in this book is the author's ability to introduce us to the rich tapestry of history and myth. The storytelling is not only informative but also incredibly immersive. The way the author brings these ancient tales to life is nothing short of remarkable.
The writing style is elegant and evocative, making it easy to become lost in the world of gods, heroes, and legendary creatures. It beautifully captures the essence of the myths and the awe-inspiring nature of the stories.
Overall, "Hades" is a book that seamlessly blends mythology, history, and captivating storytelling. I was entranced by the mythological themes, the way the author introduces us to history and myth, and the exquisite writing style. It's a must-read for anyone who appreciates the timeless allure of mythology.
