Now in paperback, a USBBY Outstanding International Book set in the
myth-rich culture of Bronze Age Crete. When a volcano cuts short
the coming-of-age training of a young priestess, she must find the
strength within herself to ensure the survival of her family. Leira
is about to start her initiation as a priestess when her world is
turned upside down. A violent earthquake leaves her home-and her
family-in pieces. And the earth goddess hasn't finished with the
island yet. With her family, Leira flees across the sea to Crete,
expecting sanctuary. But a volcanic eruption throws the entire
world into darkness. After the resulting tsunami, society descends
into chaos; the status and privilege of being noble-born are
reduced to nothing. With her injured mother and elderly nurse,
Leira must find the strength and resourcefulness within herself to
find safety. A thrilling new Bronze Age survival story from the
award-winning author of Dragonfly Song and Nim's Island.
