Produktbeschreibung

It's not easy being a half-blood.

The daughter of a water-breathing telchine mother and a human father, Aura divides her time between the magical depths of the sea and the island of Alimia she calls home. But when an earthquake frees a strange sponge-like creature from the seabed and topples the sun god's colossal statue on nearby Rhodes, ancient tensions between the sea dwelling telchines and land dwelling humans are re-awoken.

With the sun god Helios matched against the sea god Poseidon, only Aura can stop a war.

"The Colossus Crisis" is one of the Seven Fabulous Wonders series, originally published by HarperCollins and translated into 11 languages worldwide. A mixture of magic, mystery and adventure set against carefully researched historical backgrounds, these books can be enjoyed in any order by confident teen readers and adults looking for historical fantasy adventure.

The complete collection of seven books is also available as the Seven Fabulous Wonders Omnibus.

Katherine Roberts won the Branford Boase Award for her first novel "Song Quest". Find out more at www.katherineroberts.co.uk

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!
