Fay Thompson moved to Crete from London to make a new life for herself on the Greek island in the sun. Over the years she built up strong friendships and established herself as a writer and reviewer of tourist resorts and excursions. It was everything she had ever wanted. She was finally in control of her life, it was organised, she knew where she stood, she was happy. Or was she? Adam Ford was a relative newcomer to the island but decided to move his business to Crete to escape a cutthroat and soulless life in London. Now he was working on setting up a travel company but he needed someone who knew the island well to help him organise the excursions and programmes for the tourists. Sal was a good friend of Fay’s from London. Sal always enjoyed life to the full. She had visited Fay in Crete on a number of occasions in the past and now she too wanted to enjoy the carefree Mediterranean lifestyle. With the arrival of these two newcomers to the island, the safe orderly life that Fay was used to changed. She experienced danger, fear, love and fun, and she eventually realised that some things are worth taking a risk for. [mehr]

It had been Athens' king Aegeos himself who had stabbed the successful prince to death in sheer jealousy, and it hadn't come as a big surprise, that the mighty Minos had send a hundred ships of war to take out a bitter revenge on Athens. To escape his own demise and to keep the peace King Aegeos had to promise the yearly delivery of seven young boys and seven beautiful virgins to Knossos on the island of Crete, those poor children were then trained to dance naked for the sacred bulls before they were sacrificed to the godly monster of the Minotauros in his dark labyrinth in the mountain . . .
