The story continues: the sequel to The Mistress of the Rock, is The Revenge.

Still smarting from her rebuke by Richard, Aphrodite plans a series of events that will ultimately bring about the return of Richard Cole to the island. Only this time his welcome will not be so warm, he will have to battle the bureaucracy and the contempt felt by some of the islanders for his sudden departure and the aftermath of his chance discovery.

In addition, he has to battle his own demons that inhabit his waking hours and now with his return to Cyprus, possess him even more.

Aphrodite is set upon a path of cold revenge and summons the Scylla a mythical cryptid of the deep to do her bidding as the creature wreaks havoc on the once idyllic coast of Cape Greco and the tourist resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras and Paphos.

Cole must not only face his demons but he must face the goddess, if he is to stop the terror that now lurks in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean.

But how is he going to do it?
