Icarus and the Wing Builder

Icarus and the Wing Builder is an epic tale of rites of passage, love, betrayal, and redemption, set upon the mystical islands and sailing ships of the Aegean Sea. So much more than just another retelling of an old myth, this book tells the soaring story of the first human flight between two mountainous islands by an ordinary father and son. Their deeds have become legend. The book's universal theme resonates soundly into the present, the struggle of the ordinary man or woman to be the hero of their own life. Daedalus' journey takes him through the minotaur's labyrinth, into a breathtaking love affair with a woman who will allow nothing to stand in the way of ruling her own island. Forced to flee from the palace, Icarus and Daedalus travel the length and breadth of the island, searching for a way off...and finding much more.
