Antares

‘…I don’t believe. I’m a lost lamb. In other words, a lion,’ says Antares about himself.

​

But he is also a poet, a little vain—and here, the measure of his pain lies—extremely smart and educated, despite his job as a bodyguard. An Athenian hero lost in future times, too funny to be a stoic, Antares is the archetype of those who refuse to see themselves as victims of circumstance, however hard the times may be.

​

No moment straining common sense escapes his humor, and no fight, if grand enough, will find him merely a spectator—he’s born to be the main character. Fearless, he marches through his fate, loving, laughing, mocking, even bringing down gods… using the only superpower humans have: intelligence.

​

His thoughts are transparent to us throughout the novel, peppering the story like short bursts of rain—sometimes irrelevant or even ludic, but mostly a voice of reason, profound and full of soul.

You will miss him dearly after you finish the book
