Frightened by a nightmare, pampered princess Thalassai awakens to real danger: she has been kidnapped. Fear grows to terror when she realizes her captors will use her as a pawn to gain Poseidon’s aid for their valley. Aided by a defiant mother goddess, will she find strength to stand up to this fate? When Thalassai's brother Melanion races to rescue her, he meets servants of the mother goddess. Their aid speeds him north, but when he is slowed by bandits he must risk a dangerous tunnel under the mountain range. Will he be in time? Set in the days of Helen of Troy and the great heroes of Greece, this story takes the reader on a fast paced journey across the sun-drenched landscape of Homer and deep into the darkness at the edge of Hades' kingdom. Praise for Moon of the Goddess: "Thalassai and Melanion feel like real people who lived and died in Ancient Greece, rather than words on a page." NerdEmp "The siblings are tested in ways they never dreamed, form bonds with unexpected allies, and come to see their turbulent world with new eyes." In the Hills "The prince and the others on the odyssey have their limits put to the test, which always gives a sense of mystery and endurance that come with the best books. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did." TeenLitPicks
