They arrive in Atlantis right in the middle of a political upheaval. Cleito's father, a high priest, was murdered by agents of the boy king. An astute woman, she sees that this man who arrived on their shores was a means to step into her father's place. She proclaims that he is Poseidon, the god of the sea. Later in the story, an attempt is made on their lives but they miraculously survived and struck down the king. Most of the mythology I ever read were short blurbs regaling the tales of encounters between mortals and gods. This is a fully realized story of how a god is actually created. It was fun to see how a crude simple man can be bathed and dressed and presto, he's a god. ![]() The story of Donnegen and his country men making their way across the sea to eventually meat Cleito and her manipulative and murderous family in the high court is complex but rather easy to follow. By constantly shifting POV the author allows you to see that none of the characters hold the motivations they claim to those around them, which leads to grand scheming and daring grabs for power. This was very fun read even though there were some plot holes and unfinished story lines, but overall I really enjoyed it.
A fresh twist on an old sea myth, complete with magic, intrigue, and plenty of old-school adventures. Pertenece a las seriesPoseidon and Cleito (Book One)
