    Summary

    Keith, a trader from a river on the edge of civilization, is captured and sold into slavery, ending up in the heart of one of the great kingdoms of antiquity, the Keft of King Minos. His ultimate destiny: to be tossed into the legendary Labyrinth, located inside a mountain on an island archipelago called Qhera. Alongside seven youths and seven maidens offered in tribute from a backwater city, he is expected to meet his end-and, if he's especially unlucky, the Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull abomination said to eat human flesh.

    But nothing about the Labyrinth, or it's legendary monster, is what it seems. Keith himself bears a burden that may ruin those who get too close to him. And no one has accounted for the the role the gods might play in the events about to unfold-for in the center of Qhera's waters lies a terrible secret that will change the world, and those who live to tell the tale, forever.
