This
is a historically-based novel with authentic, mythic, and fictional characters
interacting across the extraordinary panorama after the Fall of Troy and the
Hittite Empire during the Bronze Age Collapse. Diomedes leads his Akhaians
(Achaeans) to the Isle of Kyprios (now Cyprus) to meet his lost love, Lieia,
the ex-queen of the Hittites. Kyprios is where the Peoples of the Sea have
gathered before their final assaults on Canaan and Aigyptos (Egypt).
But Diomedes unexpectedly meets the avatar of the Goddess Aphrodite at her Temple in Paphos, the city of her birth. Will she take him from Lieia? Will his wanderings end, or will he head back to sea to seek redemption from the past in the further unknown? Aphrodite must also deal with the beautiful, impetuous youth, Adonis, who swears he would die for her.
The Bronze Age Collapse was a time of such chaos that empires fell, royalty was overthrown, palaces and temples were destroyed, and the hierarchy of the gods was doubted, yet people's self-reliance emerged like never before, and the ancient Great Goddess of the Cycles of Time, who had been suppressed, began to regain her former dominance.

Gregory M. Nixon is a retired university professor who, after spending his professional years publishing academic papers, was pleased to discover he still had an active imagination. He moved alone to a nice cottage overlooking magnificent Okanagan Lake in western Canada to create his mythico-historical novels set after the Trojan War and the fall of the Hittite Empire during the Bronze Age Collapse. Nigel, an outdoor cat, also sometimes lives with him.
