In this suspenseful literary fantasy, two men on a ship bound for Great Britain face the wrath of disturbed spirits after raiding the Parthenon.
Whispers heard deep in the hold lead to an uncanny encounter with a most unusual stowaway . . . one destined to bring the Mentor — and Hamilton — to the verge of disaster. With the treasures of Classical Athens — a seeming realm of clarity, harmony, and order — lying in fragments around him, Hamilton begins to realize that the Greek ideals his nation has embraced arose from darker origins, and that a genius loci, the “spirit of the place” thought to abide in sacred sites, can be disturbed only at one’s peril.
