Starik, a wanderer on the plains of Eros, is desperate to find his own path, after suffering horrendous disfigurement as a child at the hands of a murderous king. He now wears the scars of a lost man, an orphan of the world he once knew, as he travels alone amongst the islands of his world. The wanderer wears a metallic limb, gifted to him from a demented merchant, in order to forge something better of himself than the wretched beast he was becoming. By chance, as the wanderer is rescuing a distraught teenage girl, he is charged by an obese monk with a sacred prophecy to save his planet. Starik comes to realize that fate has conspired in his favour, as his quest would lead him back towards the king who stole his family, his childhood, and left him a morsel of his former self... With the assistance of a mysterious teenage girl, a blind monk, and his elusive friend, Starik will face the snow-capped mountain ranges, the deserts, and the savage Lone Sea to destroy the fortified city of Kerr for the Gods he serves.

The God of Love loses his heart to a mortal girl in this timeless tale of passion, devotion and eternal love. Eros is the goddess Aphrodite's son and servant, shooting his love-tipped arrows at gods and humans alike to stir their passions for good or ill. When his mother becomes jealous of Psyche, the beautiful daughter of a king, Eros is sent to seal the girl's doom - but with a scratch from his own arrow, he falls in love with her himself. Psyche wants more from life than to be married off to a suitor of her father's choosing. The Oracle foretells she will marry the "Almighty Monster, to whom men and gods alike are enslaved," and she is abandoned to meet her woeful fate. Instead, she is spirited away to a spectacular palace and discovers tenderness and passion in the arms of her mysterious, invisible husband: Eros. Yet mistrust shatters their bliss, and Psyche must win back her beloved through many labors at the hands of the beautiful and cruel Aphrodite.

Book Description
Greek mythology is a rich tapestry of stories, deities, and heroes that has profoundly influenced not only ancient Greek culture but also the broader Western literary and artistic traditions. Rooted in the oral traditions of storytelling, these myths served multiple purposes within Greek society, including providing explanations for natural phenomena, reinforcing social norms, and offering insight into the human condition. In ancient Greece, mythology was intricately woven into the fabric of everyday life. The gods and goddesses were believed to interact with humans, influencing their fate, guiding their actions, and embodying the ideals and values of society. The Greeks worshiped a pantheon of deities, each representing different aspects of life and the natural world. For instance, Zeus ruled the sky and upheld justice, while Athena symbolized wisdom and warfare, and Demeter represented agriculture and fertility. These gods were not only worshiped in temples but also featured prominently in festivals, rituals, and public ceremonies, reinforcing community bonds and shared beliefs.

In the time of myths and legends... ...Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, has grown jealous of a young girl named Psyche. She is envious of the praise being heaped upon the mortal girl for her splendour. The goddess decides to dispatch her mischievous son Eros, the god of love, to perform a nasty trick. When the trick goes awry, Eros finds himself falling in love with Psyche. Unable to resist her allure, he whisks her away to a palace in the sky. Wanting Psyche to fall in love with him for who he is and not for his name or looks, Eros hides his true identity from her and forbids her to see him in the light. Persuaded by her two jealous sisters, Psyche plots a way to see him by lamplight. Her plan backfires and, feeling spurned and betrayed, Eros abandons her. Not wanting to live with anyone but Eros, Psyche sets out on a quest to regain the trust of her one true love. This is a wonderful story of true love, redemption, and the conquering of impossible odds during the golden age of mythology.
