Ryk E Spoor

The Spear of Athena Ryk E Spoor

The Shuttered CountryThe four adventurers had barely survived the assassination attempts of the false Ares. But now the counterfeit God of War has sealed Ingram's homeland Aegeia away, stealing the power of Athena's barrier that even gods cannot penetrate, to complete his plan to destroy the Cycle of the Gods and Aegeia itself. The four of them must find a way past the Seal of Athena - something never done in the history of all the Cycles. And even after passing through the terrible trials that the Seal places before them, they cannot begin to grasp what monstrous things await them in Aegia - and none more monstrous than Raiagamor, the shapeshifting abomination who wears the face, form, and power of Ares, God of War. Yet Raiagamor does not grasp what he will face either, for the four heroes each have their own secrets unsuspected: for Urelle, the depth of her magic; for Ingram, the power of his past; for Quester, the legacy of his people; and for Victoria, the wisdom of her soul.
