The Crown of Minos: The Qos Empire

The Crown of Minos: The Qos Empire

The Crown of Minos: The Qos Empire begins where my previous novel, Minos, ends. This book is the story of what happens to the Minoans of the Minos Valley once Lord Minos is revived and the civilization departs the mortal world and enters another dimension, a separate universe called Dreamscape.

Adam enters the Minos Dreamscape world at the invitation of Lord Minos and Athena to witness Athena's coming of age, marriage and ascension to the throne. He arrives under odd circumstances and begins to explore this new world in the City of Light, the capital of the new Minoan civilization.

Over time, Adam gets drawn into the intrigues of the royal court, guided by Lord Minos. After watching Adam carefully, Lord Minos makes fateful decisions, rewards Adam with new powers and abilities in the Dreamscape universe, and tasks him with an important but complex set of duties.

As Adam circulates in Minos, he finds the Minoans eager for change and for his friendship and leadership. The people, rather than the court, elites and priesthood, fall in love with the man they affectionately call "Adam Outlander".

Nothing is as it appears, and the trail of betrayal, lies, murder and intrigue is a constant path Adam must travel to uncover the mysteries and truths long buried – or are they?

Why has Lord Minos chosen Adam, an Outlander and commoner, as his friend and closest advisor, and what secrets are yet to be revealed to him? What abilities and powers does Adam already have which enhance the new powers given him by Lord Minos and others?

The Crown of Minos, the Qos Empire is the first in a trilogy of novels exploring the Dreamscape Universe, Adam's unexpected role and the wars fought to return Dreamscape to its original purpose.

Adam, the Outlander, has undertaken impossible tasks for the Minoan civilization, but will he be accepted by the people as a true Minoan leader?

Adam wishes to do his duty, then return home to Barrows Bay and his family. Will he return? Can he return?

A journey begins with new characters, new plots and new thrills as Adam St. James, Adam Outlander as he is known, grows from naïve young man to mature leader of a new people with a possible new future. Growing up fast, learning hard lessons along the way, suffering setbacks makes this a must-read tale of a young man learning to lead … and love.

How will the journey end?
