"Reading this witty, profoundly sapient take on the old tales will leave readers impatient for the sequels."

   -- Kirkus

"[A] winning first novel...with all the elements of a true adventure story...."



Publisher Notes


Forced out of his village because of his strange appearance, Corydon gets kidnapped and put on display for a traveling freak show, yet when Corydon breaks out and helps his new friends, the Sphinx, the Minotaur, and others to do the same, their dreams of living in freedom and peace are put on hold when a band of locals begin their hunt to find and destroy them all.



Synopses


Corydon, an outcast Greek boy with the leg of a goat, learns that he is part of an old prophecy and joins forces with Medusa and other "monsters" known in Greek mythology in a confrontation with mortal heroes fighting for the Olympian gods.
