Kurztext
The great Minoan island Crete is waning. Famine spreads, the gods fall silent, and from the north the Achaeans advance, hungry for power across the sea. In Phaistos, Ide, daughter of the archon, is promised to Agathon, prince of Pylos – a political marriage meant to save her people through alliance rather than war. Yet her heart belongs to Geros, captain of the Phaistian fleet. As Ide sails toward Pylos, doubt grows. The Achaeans speak of peace, but their gifts carry the shadow of conquest. Can Agathon be trusted – or is he the key to Crete’s downfall?
As dark omens gather and the old gods fall silent, Ide is forced to choose between love and responsibility. To save her people, she may have to betray everything she believes in. Her decision will determine the fate of Phaistos – and whether anything of her world can be saved at all.
Written by Leipzig-based author Heike Wolff, this novel brings the lost world of Minoan Crete vividly to life, blending meticulous research with a powerful human story of love, loyalty, and loss.

Über die Autorin
Die in Leipzig lebende Autorin Heike Wolff schreibt an der Schnittstelle von Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Während ihre Romane Leser in ferne Welten und vergangene Epochen entführen, widmen sich ihre kürzeren Texte den Themen der unmittelbaren Gegenwart. Seit den 1990er-Jahren ist sie auf Leipziger Lesebühnen aktiv und kuratiert seit 2017 die Offene Lesebühne in Delitzsch. Regelmäßige Reisen nach Griechenland haben ihre anhaltende Faszination für Kreta und die minoische Kultur geprägt, die in diesem Roman lebendig wird.
