Description
x"Vengeance will be taken on the killer, then the land will be clean. The contamination will be washed away. The rains will come and the people will be healed."
According to the Oracle, if the murderer of old King Laius is found and punished then all will be well. The people turn to their new ruler, Oedipus, the man who solved the riddle of the Sphinx, to hunt down the perpetrator and bring salvation.
He vows to succeed whatever the cost--and so begins an unstoppable pursuit of the truth through a harrowing labyrinth of fear and love.
