OverviewA stunning sequel to The Moon Riders following the fortunes of Myrina, the young Amazon woman after the fall of Troy. Some years have passed since Myrina reassembled the Moon Riders as a strong and potent force after the fall of Troy. During that time the brave warrior women that survived have lived in peace. But now once again, Myrina`s life is savagely disrupted, this time by Neoptolomus, avenging son of Achilles. First slavery, storm, and shipwreck take their toll on Myrina, but hearing that Iphigenia is in trouble, she is determined to stand by her and sets out to rescue her friend who is in trouble on the island of Tauris. The fate of the two women is closely entwined, together with the whole family of Agamemnon. Can Myrina play a part in freeing them from their tragic destiny?

Over the years Theresa has acquired an outstanding reputation for her historical novels. Shortlisted twice for the Carnegie Medal and for the Sheffield Children's Book Award, she takes a keen interest in the north-east coast of England.
