Circa 300 BC: slavers are secretly active around the Black Sea, kidnapping children and forcing them into a life of deprivation and captivity. Sixteen-year-old Melo, a respected Amazon tribal leader in the Plains, is empowering the Tribes children within the Peace Way. When Melos friend Atalanta is captured and put to work on a pig farm, Melo and her friends must harness all their courage to mount a successful rescue operation. In this enthralling tale of love, adventure and revenge, the children of the cities, the slaves and the tribal young all face the most monumental challenges of their lives as their world is rocked to its core.
`Following on from her successful first novel, "Slave Power", this brilliantly conceived and historically-based story by a New Zealand author is fast-paced and highly engaging. An excellent fantasy series for young adult and adult readers. Claire Carpenter, Senior English Teacher.
