Om denne bog

God. Hero. Idol. Monster. Murderer. The story of Hercules is one of the most famous ever told. But what if it''s wrong? Locus and Nebula Award-winning author John Wiswell brings his gentle, human storytelling to the most infamous of stories and discovers the heart inside us all.

Furious with Zeus for once again siring a child with a mortal woman, Hera finds herself redirecting all her fury at the baby himself, Heracles, an innocent named in her honour. As Heracles grows into a man - an unfathomably strong, loving man - he thanks Hera for all the blessings he feels she''s seen fit to bestow upon him.

In a moment of misdirected rage, however, Hera sends a fury to kill Heracles'' family. Heracles sets out on an epic quest to discover the name of the god who set their murders in motion. Desperate to keep him busy until she can come up with a solution, Hera sets Heracles a series of tests, as impossible as they are deadly: the Nemean lion, the hydra, the Stymphalian birds, the Aegean stables . . .

But Heracles'' innate kindness, along with his determination to discover the identity of the god who cost him everything he loves, carries him through each task. As his legend grows, so does Hera''s desperation.

A novel of friendship, of found family, of kindness and of legend, this is the story of Hercules as it has never been told before.
