Three Great Lies
"While vacationing in Egypt Jeanette Walker, a cynical scientist jaded by swarms of tour groups and knick -knack shacks, is lured by a teenage tour guide to visit a newly discovered tomb. No other tourists there! Inside the chamber, she tumbles down a shaft and 3000 years back in time. Now, in a world where deities walk the streets and prophecy heats up the air, Jeanette is desperate for normal and the simple pleasures of sanitation and refrigeration. However, a slave master hawking a cat-headed girl derails her homebound mission, and Jeanette penniless in the ancient world steals the girl, bringing down the tireless fury of the slaver. Saddled with a newly awakened mummy and the cat-headed girl, Jeanette contrives a plan to free them from the slaver's ire, but will she have to dive into the belly of the beast to succeed?"--Page 4 of cover.
A Time Never Lived
Victorio Finder wants to become a great Finder like his father, but staying behind instead of joining him on expedition to rediscover the Spice Way was a mistake. His Finding skills have not only vanished, all attempts to Find his father knock him out cold--until he is given a key that triggers a Finder's vision of burning mountains and silent wings. Braving the stormy Bloodbane Sea, Vic seeks out Myrie Raleven; but the help she gives leads him through a Dead City, down the drought-dry Bihn Iabba River and into the Dragonback Mountains where those who go in never come out. A TIME NEVER LIVED, a companion book for DeFino's highly acclaimed first novel, FINDER.
The Priestess and the Slave
The Priestess and the Slave looks at the political turmoil of fifth century BC Greece through the eyes of two women, one a slave and one a farmer's daughter who became a Pythia in her fifties. The novella intertwines the stories of Perialla, the Pythia at Delphi who was bribed by the Spartan king Kleomenes around 491BC, and Harmonia, a slave looking after the family which owned her, during the devastating Plague of Athens (which broke out in the second year of the Peloponnesian War). The two women never meet, but their very different stories echo and complement one another. "A compelling blend of vivid storytelling and meticulous research. Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable." --Alison Good...
