ISSASARA’S WILL

AN EPIC IN THE TIMES OF THE MINOANS

The Minoan civilisation flourished for more than 1000 years in Santorini and Crete until, in 1628 BC, the Santorini volcano erupted on a scale without known equivalent. Santorini was wiped out in hours, Crete was ravaged by ash and a tsunami. For many archaeologists this historical event is none other than the tragic end of mythical Atlantis reported by Plato.

Issasara’s Testament tells the story of a young Minoan woman from Santorini who narrowly escapes the catastrophe. Devastated by the loss of all she loved, she travels to Crete with her Greek companion in search of survivors from her island. From the carefree days of youth to the misery of dark times, Issasara’s Testament sweeps us into an epic tale of exile, the thirst for power, war, and love. All human emotions are explored in this novel, lending it a timeless quality.
