The Mythology of it All!
By M.A. Donovan
The world has a long-standing fascination
with mythology. Epic tales have been told through the ages of heroes, gods,
goddesses, monsters, and more. Every nation has its own fantastic story to
weave.
The Greeks shared myths of heroic deeds,
divine interventions, and origins of their rituals. Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are the oldest known Greek literary sources. They focused
on events surrounding the Trojan War.
You will find many great tales from Hercules
to Perseus and the Gods that either tried to thwart their plans or help them in
small, inconspicuous ways. Battling monsters such as Medusa or the hydra were
prevalent in almost every epic mythology.
In THE GOLDEN HORN, I mix a little mythology
with medieval history. My heroes engage all sorts of creatures like harpies,
nightmares, dragons, and thunder birds – while searching for a special weapon
forged by the Gods that will either turn the tide in their favor or destroy
their kingdom.

About THE GOLDEN HORN
Galen Hawkeye never wanted to be labeled a hero, but with his father's undead army casting a shadow over the kingdom, the land needed a legend. From a very young age, he had been groomed as a warrior, so it only seemed right when he strapped on the sword, enlisted his mage friend, and ventured forth to save his people. But he never planned on demonic trackers hunting him nor the love he found with a mysterious girl who happened to be on the same quest as him. Would he be able to stop the darkness descending before it swallowed him whole?
