Heracles is fifteen years old. The son of a noble household in Bronze Age Thebes, he is stronger than any boy alive - and that strength terrifies him.
When a moment of uncontrollable rage costs the life of his beloved music tutor, Heracles is exiled into the wilderness, certain he is a monster. There he meets a runaway servant who, against all reason, is not afraid of him. Together they survive bandits, hostile villages, an ancient horror in the caves beneath the hills, and a monstrous lion stalking the lands around Mount Cithaeron.
But the hardest battle is the one Heracles must fight against himself. This is where the legend began. Long before the Twelve Labours, a boy first had to master himself.
For readers 12 and up who love mythic adventure, monsters, and stories about heroes who must conquer themselves before they can conquer the world.
