Shes back and this time she brought a friend. The story continues: the sequel to The Mistress of the Rock, is The Revenge. Still smarting from Richard Coles rejection, Aphrodite plans a series of events that will bring about his return to the island. Only this time, his welcome will not be so warm, as he will have to battle bureaucracy and the islanders contempt for the devastating aftermath of his chance discovery and his sudden departure. In addition, he confronts his internal demons, and with his return to Cyprus, might completely consume him. For Aphrodite is set upon a path of cold vengeance and summons the Scylla, a legendary cryptid of the deep, to do her bidding. The creature wreaks havoc on the once idyllic coast of Cape Greco and the tourist resorts of Ayia Napa, Protaras, and Paphos. Richard must not only face his devils but also the goddess, if he is to stop the terror that now lurks in the Mediterraneans crystal-clear waters. But how is he going to do it?
