Synopsis:
AN ANCIENT CRETE MYSTERY
Bronze Age Crete, 1450 B.C.E.
When Tinos, the High Priestess’s consort, asks Martis to search for his missing daughter, Martis becomes involved in the dangerous politics between Crete and Egypt. A minor Egyptian prince is courting Hele, the High Priestess’s daughter, despite her persistent refusals. And despite the lobbying by Hele’s brother, Khoranos, who seeks the Cretan throne for himself.
Then the High Priestess is found murdered, savagely stabbed multiple times. Martis discovers plans to kidnap Hele and she has to be spirited away to safety. Egyptian soldiers occupy Knossos and Khoranos installs his ally as the High Priestess.
Can Martis rescue the High Priestess’s daughters and identify the murderer before Khoranos, with Egypt’s help, takes the throne? Martis must embark on several dangerous quests to succeed.
