‘If an Outsider wields the blade, the House of Koronos burns…’

Hylas is only a boy but he knows three things:

The Gods exist.

Magic is real.

Somebody wants him dead.

Hunted and alone, Hylas is desperate to find his missing sister. His quest takes him across the hostile mountains and treacherous seas of Ancient Greece. His only friend is a girl on the run. His only guide is a wild dolphin.

And his murderous enemies are closing in…

This action-packed adventure story is perfect for kids aged 9-12.

‘Electrifying’ – Independent on Sunday

I enjoyed how there was a lot of action and adventure from the point of view of children, not adults.

Oh my gosh! This is so good. It’s like the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness but better.

Very fun. I could almost picture hulas in my head. I love the plot twist which then reveals that tealamon is a crow. Pirates is vey talkative though but I didn’t think she wanted to get away so badly that she would burn herself. 24 carat gold.

An imaginative story set in the world of Greek gods and warriors. Lots of interesting facts about Ancient Greece and their way of life plus exciting stories because Hylas tames wild creatures.
