The heir to Helinthia's throne has been found, and the gods of Olympus will be heard.

Smoke rises from the massacred village of Tyldan, spreading fear through Golpathia, the last bastion of resistance against Anax Charixes. Two new oracles come forward—a sign of the gods' return to Helinthia. But divine motives remain unclear, and whispers of doom take root.

At Dargos' urging, Gadnor is elevated to strategos and thrust into a bitter rivalry between Golpathia's leaders. When Princess Lithaneva warns of a plot to crush the rebellion, Gadnor knows it may be his only chance to prove himself. But Gonivein's new vision reveals a harrowing future—one that will come to pass even if he succeeds.

As war looms, Kelric discovers the anax' spies have infiltrated his city, putting Gonivein and Dargos at risk. Forluna fears it is only a matter of time before they strike a fatal blow to the rebellion. Meanwhile, Lithaneva's cunning catches the eye of one whose reputation for subversion is legendary—even among Olympians.

The fate of the isle rests on their shoulders. Will the bonds of love and friendship endure in the face of overwhelming darkness?

Oracle of Helinthia is the second installment in the Epic of Helinthia series. An original Greek myth of warring gods and the mortals who must find a way to end the conflict before it destroys their world.
