Redemption lies past bloody steps …
While Pandora seeks a means to escape the crushing grasp of Fate, Herakles faces equally insurmountable odds: To assuage his guilt for the murder of his family, he must undertake impossible labors.
Across the breadth of the world he hunts for monsters that would strike dread into the bravest Titan. Again and again, he casts himself into the breach, all for the desperate hope of redemption. But will any amount of spilled monster blood wash clean the blood of his own children?
The Madness of Herakles is the fourth novel of the Tapestry of Fate series. It begins an epic melding Greek myths, time travel, and dark fantasy into a vast adventure that spans millennia. Familiar stories unfold in new ways. Tragic heroes grapple with flaws and decisions that echo through time. And in the darkest moments, the greatest gift is a hope that refuses to burn out. For fans of Thiago Abdalla, Ryan Cahill, and Rob J. Hayes, this is a dark mythological retelling filled with gods and monsters from the Classical Age and beyond. This series serves as a prequel to Gods of the Ragnarok Era.
