What is it about a bloody ring that sends Tassos and the young men of Thera on a clandestine mission to Minoan Crete?
Why at a time of severe seismic activity and civil unrest are those in power there so desperate to acquire a seemingly harmless bauble and why does its extraordinary history threaten to curtail the mission before it begins?
Who is responsible for the horrendous act of treachery that lures them to the fabled city of Knossos?
Where are the men of substance when a terrifying increase in seismic activity leads the people to demand that those in power account for their inability to contain the escalating phenomenon?
The answers lie deep within the labyrinthine corridors of Minos' awesome Palace, where Tassos and the three women in his life encounter a strange enigmatic culture. But dare they challenge an ethos where narcotic induced rituals invoke the dark chthonic images of Priestly power.
Only when the violent forces of nature consolidate in the cataclysmic eruption of Thera's volcano do they finally come to appreciate the ring's sublime message.Then it is too late. They are caught up in an event that is poised to carry them on a journey their worst nightmares could never have imagined.
