Blurb:
In Athens, the Great Dionysia festival rouses citizens with
wine, song, theater, and debauchery. Politics and scandal paint deep shadows
across the portrait of the city, and wolves in sheep’s clothing roam the
streets and the stage.
Shy Kallistos faces Sophocles in the theater competition, play for play against the celebrated master. Success beckons like a siren’s song, but the dark allure and smoldering desire for a new acquaintance rouse feelings Kallistos never imagined he’d feel.
Alexios spent many cold nights singing to the sheep and stars before traveling to Athens to help Sophocles. He longs to feel the breath of audience applause on his face and will do anything to become a famous actor. Now, losing his heart to the competition forces him to make difficult choices that may jeopardize his lifelong dreams.
Of Minotaur masks and men…where is life truly lived? On the stage or in the heart?

My review:
What would
you do to succeed? Alexios is a
shepherd who dreams of being an actor. Kallistos is a rising young playwright
about to go up against the famous and popular Sophocles competition. Against
this background these two young meet and fall in love. I adored this story. I felt
like I was amid the madness of the Great Dionysia festival. These two guys have
to choose what is most important to them.
I heartily recommend.
