Before dragons, there were gods. Before fantasy, there was history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the Trojan War. Before the end of the Bronze Age. Before a father raised a knife above his own daughter...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe House of Atreus was already destroyed from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than three thousand years ago, the royal bloodline of Mycenae was consumed by murder, prophecy, betrayal, and revenge. History remembers them as a legend, and the ancient world called the entities that manipulating them and caused all these tragedies, \"gods.\" But they were not gods...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApollo. Artemis. The Oracle of Delphi. All were ancient, damaged entities. Rivalrous, yes, and many millennia old. They were the remnant of a lost civilization. They did not answer prayers. They ran programs. They did not grant visions. They manufactured prophecy. They steered human history, on a game board, toward their own ends.The House of Atreus was one of their game pieces...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou must first understand this before you are able to understand how a king raises a knife above his thirteen-year-old daughter. But, first, you must go back to the beginning.To a boy hiding in the shadows, watching his father serve a brother the cooked flesh of his own children. To a false oracle engineered by a malevolent intelligence far older than civilization. To a Spartan princess forced to choose between love and duty. To the moment her choice was stolen from her entirely. To an exiled prince who swore he would break the cycle of violence. Who won every battle, even while losing everything that mattered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgamemnon rose from hunted refugee to celebrated warrior and, finally, to King of Mycenae, the greatest city in pre-classical Greece. He fought with genuine courage. He chose mercy when others might have chosen vengeance. He loved deeply and disastrously. And at every turning point... the duel, the throne, the altar... unseen voices were whispering: \"...destiny is on your side...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDestiny? Perhaps. But the voices were not on his side. They were only on the side of themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove it all, an immortal observer named Mikael has watched the House of Atreus and his own siblings for generations. Bound by oath and his own nature, to witness and never intervene, he has seen kingdoms fall, children die, and humanity kneel before machines dressed as gods. He knows what is coming. He knows who is pulling the strings. But he cannot say a word. Because it is a part of him. It was the way he was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first ships from Troy appear on the horizon. The pieces fall into place. Paris is sailing. Helen is dreaming. And Agamemnon, haunted, victorious, and utterly alone on his ancestral throne, has set in motion a chain of events that will destroy not only Troy, but the entire pre-classical Greek civilization, thereby ending the Bronze Age. This is his story...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgamemnon Rising is the first book of the House of Atreus, a completed seven-book mythological sci-fi saga.
