About The Book:

In the ancient kingdom of Phrygia, tribal boy Karem Savas thirsts for revenge against King Sargon II, the man who killed his mother and kidnapped his sister. A deal with the dark goddess of the underworld propels him to a powerful position of leadership with a mighty army and thousands of loyal subjects. Crowned as King Midas, he rules from the prosperous capital city of Gordium, where the future shines bright for his two royal children, Prince Anchurus and Princess Zoe.

But Midas is unable to shake his traumatic past. As his deal with the dark goddess turns sour, he seeks help from another, never realizing it will be his undoing. Burdened with a cursed power and floundering against the savvy King Sargon II, Midas must right his wrongs and save his children before it is too late.

Packed with myth, magic, and vengeance, this captivating tale of King Midas begins the new mythological fantasy series from Colleen M. Story.

Book Blurbs:

Everyone has heard about the plight of King Midas, but Story brings it to life in a unique and refreshing way. Midas’ tale is full of heartbreaking losses, cruel intrusions from the gods, and the unfaltering need for vengeance. ‘The Curse of King Midas’ humanizes the myth in a way that made my heart ache for the unfortunate situations that Midas found himself in, but also allowed me to see the dangerous sides of his greed and selfishness. A great read for lovers of Greek mythology, ancient history, and those that love a good tale of revenge.”~ The Book Nerd’s Corner, Reader and Book Reviewer

Colleen M. Story’s epic, The Curse of King Midas—the first in The Midas Legacy—offers a tapestry of legend and myth intertwined with plenty of action, Greek tragedy-like drama, and blood-thirsty revenge. This tale of a wish gone horribly awry is imaginatively rich in characterization and setting, and will captivate readers of all ages.”~ Sharon Ledwith, author of The Last Timekeepers time travel adventure series, and Mysterious Tales from Fairy Falls teen psychic mysteries
