Having fallen along with his precious Constantinople, the brave soldier Rangabes awakens in the darkness of death-in Tartarus no less. From the yawning maw of the underworld, he is thrust into the center of an epic struggle between the myths of old and the coming of a new order. He is forced to travel through the various pantheons of old myth and face their many perils. He contends with gods and monsters alike, battles legendary heroes, and his will is tested again and again. Befriending an ancient poet and a three-headed hound, he journeys towards Hyperborea in hopes of becoming worthy of carrying his ancient blood onto new shores. An American Aeneid, "Cerberus Slept" is the first step of a three-legged journey into eternity. Virtue is tested, time and meaning are questioned, and power, fate and purpose all are challenged through impossible conflict and deep dialogue. This is an epic for those royal few ready to leave the herd and ascend into the fires of a new tomorrow. Awaken and ascend!
