Eighteen years into the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta
finds a Devanian soldier named Maxites flung into the catastrophic
events of war and destiny. Hoplite: Torch of Prometheus is a
historical fiction novel taking place in Greece nearly two and a
half millennia ago. Torch of Prometheus begins in 413 B.C. Maxites
is a twenty-year old warrior of the fictional town of Devanum,
sworn allegiance to the Athenian League, and is eager to join the
war between an advanced Athens and bloodthirsty Sparta. Devanum is
able to send out a small force of men to aid the Athenians, led by
Maxites' oldest brother Dioxiphos. In a string of bloody battles,
conversations with the gods, an untimely marriage, journeys on land
and voyages by sea, Maxites must learn to deal with bonds forged
and severed, what the difference is between Athenians and Spartans,
the truth of his past, and the loss of those he loves.
