Reseña del libro "The Crown Games (en Inglés)"
THE GODS HAVE CALLED. THE GAMES ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN. Theseus has spent his life learning how to face monsters. At seventeen, the prince of Athens has already earned a reputation as a hero. But the stories people tell about him leave out the fear, the mistakes, and the boy beneath the legend. Now, with Athens preparing to send fourteen young lives to Crete as tribute, Theseus refuses to sit safely behind the walls of his father's palace. Then the gods summon him. A golden herald arrives with a message no mortal has heard before: the Crown Games are beginning. Theseus is ordered to climb to Olympus and compete alongside the children of gods, legendary heroes, mortals, and creatures whose names belong to another age. He takes with him Asterios, the enormous white bull who has been his companion since childhood. But Olympus is not the paradise Theseus imagined. Behind its golden gates lie ancient secrets, dangerous creatures, forgotten powers, and a competition unlike anything the mortal world has ever known. Among the contestants are children who have been trained for glory, others who have come because they have no choice, and some who seem to know far more about the Games than they are willing to reveal. There is Heracles, the legendary hero who warns Theseus not to win. There are creatures forged by gods and monsters that should have remained buried. There are ancient places where the past has not stayed dead. And somewhere beneath Olympus, something is waking. As the Games draw closer, Theseus begins to realise that the greatest danger may not be the trials themselves. The gods have rules. The Games have a purpose. And the Crown promised to the winner may not be the prize everyone believes it to be. With Olympus watching, ancient creatures stirring, and the lives of fourteen children hanging in the balance, Theseus must decide how far he is willing to go to save people who may never know his name. Because sometimes the road to becoming a hero begins with discovering that the gods have been lying. Enter a world of gods, monsters, ancient secrets, legendary heroes and dangerous games in The Crown Games: Gods and Creatures, Book I of E. L. Holloway's epic mythological fantasy trilogy.
