Our heroes will be put to the test, pushing their bond to the limit as Zya and Elijah are forced to confront their own inadequacies. Wings of the Gods takes us from the depths of despair to the heights of true friendship and back. Can the Guardians overcome their demons and emerge victorious? The fate of humanity depends on it. A QUEST THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO SAVE HUMANITY. Zya and Elijah's first battle might be in the books, but the adventure is only beginning. Once again, the 13-year-old best friends are swept up in the Archons' millennia-long conquest of the Milky Way. This time, it's personal. While Elijah wrestles feelings that could threaten to derail their mission, memories of her father leave Zya more vulnerable than ever. Unlikely allies, the second ancient talisman and an epic mystery await in 363 BCE. Rumors are that Zeus, who governs Earth from his seat on Mount Olympus, is constructing a secret weapon that will spell certain doom for the galaxy. On top of it, the Lumerian captain Maroun has gone missing. The Guardians meet Plato and Aristotle, commune with the Oracle of Delphi and tangle with mythic monsters in this high stakes quest across Classical Greece. Our heroes traverse land, sea, the Fifth Dimension and the dreaded Underworld, encountering Hermes, Hades, Medusa and the deadly Minotaur. As their weaknesses surface and failure rears its head at every turn, the Guardians find there's nothing more powerful than the love of a friend.
