When gods contest in strife, mortals may be caught in the chaos.
Korax the magician has returned to his home island of Rhodes. He wishes only a peaceful life, in service to his family and city.
But times in Rhodes are hard. Bad weather and pirates have combined to ravage the shipping trade. Guided by the Goddess Athene, Korax uses his arts to protect the family's vessels. But this draws the enmity of the sea god Poseidon.
Korax also finds enemies closer to home. His cousin, Amynias, and the other young men who betrayed Korax into slavery see his return as a threat. To remove the threat, the cunning and treacherous Amynias will stop at nothing.
From the glorious capital of Rhodes to the pirate-infested coasts of Crete, Korax's follows his strange and winding fate. Will it lead him to failure and death, or the perfect culmination of his art?

FIVE ++ STARS
What a page-turner; and I needed to turn ‘em even faster when reading the detective stuff, about the trial, the battle…! My goodness, if you are at all interested in ancient history fiction and the author’s description of this story – read THE TREASURE OF THE SUN GOD. It is an amazing standalone book, but I highly recommend all three in the CONJURER OF RHODES series. Because they are so incredible, I know I’m just gonna have to read them again!!

The conclusion of The Conjurer of Rhodes series brings Korax home to Rhodes. The Rhodes he comes home to is vastly different than the one he left.
The truth is uncovered and bonds are tested. New friendships and old enmities arise.
A light, engrossing story from beginning to end.
Recommended!
