In this highly anticipated second instalment, Ladon's Guardians, the mesmerising adventure continues from where it left off, delving deeper into the mysteries that unfolded in the first book. Set in a shattered Athens of 2020, the damaged fabric of time wreaks havoc on the world, leaving four children without their parents.

Led by the courageous Aletheia, the siblings embark on a quest to reunite with their mother, unaware of the profound role they are destined to play in the universe's intricate tapestry. At the heart of this tale lies the enigmatic Ladon, the dragon-child-god entrusted with safeguarding the cosmos.

Seeking a pure soul, Ladon chooses Antheia, the second eldest child, to bear his hybrid offspring. This fateful union sets the stage for a transcendent transformation, as the children, accompanied by a loyal wolf and a wise owl, journey beyond Athens, finding themselves in the mystical lands of Ireland.

Meanwhile, a group of academics, armed with a stolen, classified submersible, venture through the enigmatic "Curtain of Time" in search of Ladon's lair. However, the truth behind their mission starts to fray and their leader, Henry, begins to fall apart, leading to deception and betrayal.

Both an analytical piece about the human condition and a tome of hope for the future of humanity, Ladon's Guardians is a must-read both for fans of the first book and for new readers. .
