Come back to an age of goddesses, heroes, and men. Long ago on a beautiful island in the Eastern Mediterranean, a famous Bronze Age inventor named Daedalus created working wings. Naturally, inevitably, he had to test them. Since flight is something we all long for, deep down in our souls, he made two pair: one for himself and another for his son. It could have been his life's work, a masterpiece, but, Icarus had a different idea.

This epic fantasy tale, written by Gregory A. Wilson, follows the story of Icarus and Jellinek, an unlikely pair of heroes who on the surface are about as different as two beings can possibly be. Icarus is a tall, fair-skinned boy of around 17 who falls to the world of Vol from the sky, a graceful being with wings, incredible powers, and no memory of anything but his name. Jellinek is a four-foot hard-scrabble flamepetal prospector with tough red skin, a gruff disposition, and general dislike of everyone around him.

Using steampunk wings created by his father, Icarus must escape the clutches of the evil king Minos, meet up with unlikely allies, and save Athens from certain destruction. Will Icarus have what it takes in this coming-of-age tale that picks up where the Greek myths left off? Or will the evil king Minos, with the help of the god of the underworld, Hades, destroy Athens and take over all of Greece?
