Until villagers disappear under mysterious circumstances, and the task falls on Padric to find them. However, his investigations become complicated when a cryptic prophecy charges him to rescue the villagers and find an ancient artifact before the solstice.As though that weren't enough, days later, the mastermind behind the chaos is revealed: a powerful sorceress. Their encounter leaves Padric cursed, transformed into a creature out of ancient Roman mythology, half-man and half-beast.When the wounded, cursed knight, shows up practically on Brynwen's doorstep, she doesn't know what to think. Is he a demon? The person behind the kidnappings? One thing is certain: Her safe world is spiraling out of control as, one-by-one, her friends and family members vanish. But despite her misgivings, Padric might be the one person-creature?-who can help her rescue those she loves.To reverse the curse and rescue the villagers, they must find the sorceress's lair. Yet there is more at stake than their safety-the entire world will be in grave peril if they don't reach them in time.Inspired by Homer's The Odyssey.
