Publisher Description
The tyranny of the gods is absolute, and they are capricious, malevolent and almost all-powerful, playing cruel games with the fates of mortals for their own ends . . .
A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich, compelling and original read from a master of the historical and fantasy genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched mortals - a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be brought together in a conspiracy of their own.
A conspiracy to reach the heavens, and take down the corrupt and aging gods . . . who are already facing troubles of their own . . .
An epic which draws on the Greek mythology of gods and heroes, this new trilogy is a must read for fans of Dan Simmons and Madeline Miller alike.

I enjoyed it
I’m a big fan of myth books
Amazing story I’m hooked
5/5 must read worth it and captivating!
Boisterous Bronze-Age Fantasy
Cameron has mastered the art of crafting enthralling fantasy settings and then sending large, colorful casts of characters on epic quests within them.
The setting of the Bronze Age is almost unique within fantasy, and Cameron's depiction ranges from brutal to epic to comedic, or some combination of all three.
If you have even the slightest interest in tight, character-focused fantasy, pick this up. 5/5 loved it, can't wait for the sequel.
