Reclining on the mountainside just above the ancient well, Jainus gazed morosely at the scattered sheep grazing below. Lifting his eyes to the distant deep blue line of the Aegean Sea, he sighed longingly, yearning for the fantastic adventures sung of by the roving poets and minstrels. But as he watched, a dusty travel-stained figure appeared trudging up the winding path leading to the well. The appearance of this stranger into the least of the kingdoms of Thessaly, will turn the life of this common shepherd boy upside down, plunging him into incredible adventures far beyond his imagination.
The golden age of Greek mythology is the setting for this imaginative interpretation of the poignant love story between Admetus and Alcestis. Readers of all ages will thrill with Jainus, an insignificant shepherd boy who gets elevated to the fabulous world of the heroes, encountering hideous monsters and powerful gods. Amidst many dangers, Jainus will learn of courage, loyalty, and the power of sacrificial love. But the supreme test comes as he joins the greatest of the heroes, Hercules, in the most perilous task of his life, the hitherto untold story of the mysterious beast with no name.Also in
