    Sons of Apollo Series

    About this series

    My name is Stilbe, mother of both centaur and man, but I am better known by my formal title, the Oracle of Apollo, the God of Prophecy. I serve in Apollo's temple at Delphi. Generations of men have recounted the story of the battle between the children of my sons. Centauromachy, men call it, as if branding their opponent with villainy justifies their one-sided truth. Misunderstanding, fear and even hubris have exaggerated that perspective, for what is a hero without monsters to slay? Never before, in all my generations has the full story been told. What became of the centaur, the brother, the outcast? The truth of that battle is not complete without it. I tell that story now. It began with a vision of war.

      In mythology, the centaurs are portrayed as lustful, drunken, brawlers, nothing more than a beast for the hero to slay, but every villain is the hero of his own story. Nais, Princess of Boiotia, never expected anything less than an arranged marriage. There were plenty of suitors to choose from. Her father, King Nycteus, a pious man as well as loving father, sought the wisdom of the gods in the matter of his daughter's betrothal. The Delphic Oracle instructed the king to award Nais' hand to the winner of the Olympic Games. It seemed as if the gods themselves would claim the Princess as rumors spread that Nais would wed the son of Zeus, for who could defeat Heracles in competition at his father's own festival? Nais' future appeared favorably certain until a herd of centaurs arrived in Olympia to compete for the Princess.

      After leaving Olympia with her centaur betrothed, falling in love becomes the least of Nais' concerns as tensions escalate between her unhappy handmaids and the eagerly amorous herd. Forced to mediate rather than spend time with her equine champion, Nais' diplomacy is tested when the company encounters another herd. While the women attempt an escape, Nais becomes the target of a plot to steal her centaur's prize. Caught between an unsavory means of escaping fate, and a beast she never thought she'd love, Nais wonders if she really wants to be rescued. The novelty of romance is overshadowed when Nais learns the truth behind the centaurs' unsavory reputation. Fighting for her hand is not something she left behind, but the very foundation of centaur culture. Centaurs win everything from rank to women in competition. Has Nais become the centaurs' most coveted prize? Can her centaur protect her from his own people?
