Summary
A repentant King Midas, having turned his own daughter to gold, struggles to find the River Cijam, whose magical waters alone can reverse the effects of his unique power.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: "Midas sates his lust for gold but turns his beloved daughter into a lifeless gold statue. The treacherous journey he undertakes to bring her back to life is an odyssey of self-evaluation....In Banks's masterly hands, Midas's classic character flaws are blended with contemporary human foibles to create a wonderfully vulnerable tragic hero....Banks get to the heart of the legend while fleshing out the story with first-rate adventure."--Publishers Weekly.
