Book One of the Kaphtu Trilogy Chryseis' adventures take her to the legendary Isle of Kaphtu, where she enters an ancient world of Bull Leapers, gods and half-gods. 'A magical patching together of fact and myth and sorceries, until what comes clear is not of stone and timbers, but the soul of the place.... It's a book I wish I had written. It has magic; there are gods and mortals, and the kind of golden haze about it all which belongs to that age.' -C.J. Cherryh 'These pages bring our gods and mythological creatures back to us.' - Baryon. 'Purtill's version/vision of the Olympians is a fresh and interesting one, and their involvement with the story of the Minotaur, Minos, and Ariadne is equally so. George Barr's cover and interior illustration complement the book beautifully.' - Algis Budrys. The Kaphtu Trilogy: The Golden Gryphon Feather The Stolen Goddess The Mirror of Helen
