Overview

THE BRONZE HARVEST A Mythic Fable by Jason Hawthorn They stole a boy of flesh and blood. They forged a god of bronze and ash. In the middle of the night, the Myrmidons came to the valley of the Orchard. They did not come for the gold, or the grain, or the women. They came for the sons. Kaelo was seven years old when he was ripped from his mother's arms. He smelled of apricots and river mud. He knew only the gentle hands of Demetra and the peace of the harvest. But in the Crag of the Barbarians, peace is a sin. For twenty years, the softness was beaten out of him. He was starved in the winter wilds, hunted by harpies, and forced to wrestle centaurs until his bones hardened to iron. He learned the only law of the Myrmidons: Survival is strength. And strength is the only god. Now, Kaelo is a Warlord. He has conquered cities. He has a harem of wives and a throne of shields. He is the most feared man in a world of monsters. But the wine tastes like dust, and the glory feels cold. Driven by a hunger that war cannot feed, Kaelo turns his back on his empire to find the one thing he lost: The Orchard. But the road home is not open. Standing between the Warlord and his mother are three Great Beasts-monsters of memory and guilt that cannot be killed by the sword alone. To see his home again, Kaelo must do the one thing his masters taught him never to do: He must bleed. A harrowing, epic journey through a world of Greek myth, The Bronze Harvest is a tragedy about the cost of power, and the terrifying realization that you cannot go home again when you are the one who burned it down.
