Lerna
el legado del Minotauro
Pellicer, Javier
Among the waters of the Aegean, in a long forgotten time, rises the glorious Crete of the original King Minos. The people that inhabit it, prosperous and peaceful, remain on the sidelines of an increasingly violent world. Until now. When Starn, youngest son of the Mines Sear, returns to the palace of Knossos after a long absence, he finds that the placidness he remembered has turned into distrust. Danger lurks around them: Achaean pirates threaten the sea lanes, intrigues and betrayals take hold in the labyrinthine shadows of the palace and a prophecy announces the end of the minotaur dynasty. Fate is inexorable. Everything rushes. and Starn will have to choose between staying in Knossos or following his brother Partolón in search of a new home. And meanwhile, from a distance, the breeze blows in whispers; it is the call of a sleeping land waiting to be awakened: Lerna. Set in the distant Bronze Age, Lerna. The legacy of the Minotaur brings together two great stories full of mythology: Minoan Crete, whose legends were appropriated by classical Greece, and the founding myths of Ireland collected in the Book of Invasions. An epic odyssey brimming with adventure and excitement; and that, around the great journey of the Children of Partolón, never before approached in literature, transports us to the deepest part of the human being.
