  One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
  BOOK 1: CLIO: These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the barbarians1 from losing their due meed of glory.

  Will he choose family loyalty or forbidden love in the dangerous world of mafia power? 
  Caught in a tug-of-war between duty and his heart’s desires, Rade, the eldest of the billionaire mafia triplets, feels the weight of his birthright hanging heavy around his neck. 
  Born first, he’s automatically slated to inherit the family empire, whether he wants it or not. His meticulous father, like always, has it all planned out, right down to a partner he’s lined up, just like he did for his sister. 
  There’s an unexpected chink in the armor though. Rade can’t shake off the memory of a guy he’d met in college, an opportunity neither had seized despite their undeniable chemistry. 
  Fate, in its twisted way, brings that very same guy back into his life. He’s the brother of his bride-to-be, a wonderful and understanding woman who deserves so much more than what Rade can give her. 
  Now, he’s torn. On the one hand, there’s the family legacy, the power, the whole mafia shebang. On the other, there’s the guy and the intense feelings he can’t ignore. 
  Will he follow his father’s order, and marry for the sake of the family? Or will he throw caution to the wind, risk it all for love, and rewrite the rules of their world?
