Produktbeschreibung

Lysippe and her sister Tanais, last of the legendary Amazon warrior race, are searching for the lost gryphon stone of their people in the haunted caves and rivers that surround the Black Sea. But they have little idea what awaits them in the lands ruled by men.

Captured by slavers, their only hope of freedom is to claim sanctuary in the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But that sanctuary relies upon the power of the very stone they are seeking… When the famous temple burns and the gryphon flies again, can Lysippe discover the ancient secrets of her people in time to save her sister from a fate worse than death?

Autorenporträt

Katherine Roberts grew up in the southwest of England, where her first fantasy stories were told to her little brother at bedtime. She graduated in mathematics from the University of Bath, after which she worked for the General Electric Company, and later for an American company developing business models for petrol stations. When redundancy struck in 1989, she fulfilled her childhood dream of working with horses in a National Hunt racing yard, writing in her spare time.

After several years of writing short fantasy and horror stories for genre magazines, her first book Song Quest won the 2000 Branford Boase Award for best debut novel for young readers, kick-starting her career as an author. Her books have been published by HarperCollins, Chicken House and Scholastic US, and translated into 12 languages worldwide - one of them even hit the bestseller list in Taiwan. Her latest series for young readers, The Pendragon Legacy about King Arthur's daughter, is published in the UK by Templar Books.

Away from her computer, Katherine enjoys folk music, cycling, skiing, and horse riding holidays. She has flown a glider solo and scared herself silly doing aerobatics in a small plane. All of these experiences eventually find their way into her books - though sometimes the horse becomes a unicorn, and the plane becomes a dragon!
