Product Description

Synopsis

Ierii, the daughter of the chief gardener at the palace, is in love with Thyloss, the son of the keeper of the Queen's bulls. Thyloss, who is looking forward to a future as a bull acrobat - a position of great importance - finds his feelings for Ierii gradually changing. But their hopes are shaken by events beyond their control. The Minoan civilization, one of the greatest the world has known, suddenly and mysteriously came to an end sometime during the period 1600-1450BC, baffling present day historians and archaeologists alike. One of the most persistent theories is that it was fatally damaged by the immense volcanic eruption on the nearby island of Thera (Santorini). This story charts the dramatic events during the last days of Ma-ii, a city on the north coast of Crete.

5.0 out of 5 stars PUBLISHERS REVIEW [From The Dust Jacket Flaps]., 17 Mar 2009
By R. A. Hylton "liverpoolbooqshop" (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lily and the Bull ( A novel set in Minoan Crete) (Hardcover)
'The Lily And The Bull' is a compelling re-creation of life in Minoan Crete more than a millenium before Christ - a world where past and present intersect, the forces of good and evil clash, and everyday life is charged with the super-natural.

Lerii, the gentle and lovely daughter of the chief gardener at the palace, is in love with Thyloss, the son of the keeper of the queen's bulls. Thyloss looks forward to a future as a bull dancer, a position of great importance; and Lerii has reason to hope that he may return her love. But their hopes are shaken by events beyond their control. When the sickly young prince dies after a lingering illness, the perverse and willful queen defiles the island's sacred rites in an effort to recall her son to life. Her bitter refusal to accept his death and her desperate attempt to recapture a long-lost love wreak havoc, and ultimately endanger her kingdom's very existence. Lerii and Thyloss are drawn into the queen's ever-widening circle of grief and destruction. With the aid of a powerful and mysterious woman whom Lerii encounters high in the mountains, it falls to them to try to warn the islanders of the doom that threatens to engulf them.
