The last thing Christopher saw was a golden hawk. Then, he was centuries away from home.

At eleven years of age, Christopher Nikitas thought his greatest challenge would be convincing his parents to allow him to walk to and from school without his yiayia, his Greek Cypriot grandmother.

What he didn't count on was being thrust back in time, when Cyprus was divided into ten kingdoms, to carry out the legends of his ancestors: King Evagoras I, King Nicocles and King Pnytagoras II.

Through this journey of self-discovery, Christopher will uncover what it means to live a legacy and begin to question the meaning of life ......

What is real? What is truth? What is a good life?
