The Trials of Hercules: Book One of the Osteria Chronicles

Myths and heroes may be reborn, but the whims of the gods never change.

• A devoted father and celebrated hero.
• A crime that puts him at the mercy of a corrupt leader and a vengeful goddess.
• A classic myth brought to life as you’ve never seen it before.

Convicted of three heinous murders, Herc Dion is sentenced to a series of trials that will pit him against formidable monsters, push his physical and mental endurance to the limit, and deliver him to the edge of Hades.

Throughout these ordeals, Herc endures the brutal cruelty of Hera, the goddess whose hatred of Herc has blinded her to the near ruin of her realm—and to plans that may spell the end of her existence. Realizing Hera has done everything to destroy him, will Herc risk his own life to protect hers?

Vividly set in a future Pacific Northwest, this imaginative and absorbing retelling of the legend of Hercules brings gods and heroes to life as they struggle with love and jealousy, loyalty and revenge, rivalry and honor.
