THE AWAKENING OF BLOOD (THE SON OF FIRE BOOK 1)

BLURP

On Santorini, Greece, a teenage girl is found floating in the harbor, an ancient symbol carved into her body.

Fresh out of prison and drowning in debt, former police officer Alkis Pelagites wants nothing to do with another investigation. But Chloe Kastanides, the wealthy backer of an excavation on the Aegean island, needs him to find the missing archaeologist leading the dig and determine whether his disappearance is connected to the girl’s death.

The mark on the victim’s body matches a petroglyph uncovered deep inside a volcanic cave. When a second death reveals a new piece of the same impossible design, Alkis is forced back toward the legacy of the mother he spent years resenting: a celebrated archaeologist whose final book claimed that Greek myth was more than a collection of stories.

With archaeologist Eleanna at his side, Alkis follows a trail of ritual killings, buried relics, and secrets no one was meant to uncover.

Beneath Santorini, something ancient has begun to stir.

And the pattern is not yet complete.
