It was an age when muses and fates roamed the earth, when the world was new and all things seemed to be happening for the first time. The Golden Age of Greece was ending.
A slave girl named Auria-independant, resourseful, and, certain to captivate the reader-rescues a child that has been put out to die, and they flee to the mountains. Within herself Auria finds the strength and courage she needs. This anabasis, her rise to liberation, is an enchanting passage.
