Synopsis
Ancient Greece comes alive in this gripping novel of mythology, adventure, and romance. In a time when the gods still walk the earth, a Macedonian king provoked by greed prepares to conquer neighboring Thessaly, renowned for its culture and riches. The goddess Artemis has marked Princess Atalante of Thessaly as the Sign Bearer and war leader of her country. Atalante hones her skills as war leader and accepts her fate to never know a man's love. Prince Melanion of Macedonia battles his own demons. Torn between loyalty to his father, the king, and his childhood vow to protect Thessaly, his mother's homeland, he escapes to the bordering mountains, where he meets Atalante. Drawn by trust and a burgeoning desire, they pledge at the altar of Artemis to attempt to avert the war to come.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Yet again Mary Lennox has struck gold, bringing us this time to ancient Greece in the age of Gods, Goddesses, and true valor. While The Moon Runners is stamped with her trademark elegant prose and descriptive grandeur, this time her plotting moves to the fore. Moving easily between four major characters and storylines, she pulls us inexorably into her world, replete with historically accurate accounts of ancient rites, athletic competition and the perils of war. Her depictions are rousing and detailed, yet they never let you lose sight of that timeless goal - honor, victory, and most importantly, a love which can transcend all, even death.

tremendous Greek mythological tale

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In 1350 BC, Melanion thinks back to his death bed pledge to his dying mother that he would protect her homeland Thessaly from his father King Kryton of Macedonia without hurting his sire. However, the time to act on his vow has arrived as the King's High Commander Polymus plans to invade and plunder Thessaly, killing anyone in his way.
Artemis names Thessaly Princess Atalante as her war leader by placing her sign on the human's visage. The beautiful princess has never seen the scar as Artemis forbid her to see her own reflection. Thinking she must have an ugly face, Atalante compensates by turning to war activities normally the domain of men. She becomes the swiftest of runners and the greatest of archers.
When Melanion and Atalante meet, he knows she is his soulmate and she loves him very much, but she cannot accept that any man can desire her. Besides her doubts there remain their respective fathers to consider and the whimsy of Artemis so that the probability of anything permanent between these two so in love individuals seems nil.
THE MOON RUNNERS is a tremendous Greek mythological tale that readers will deeply appreciate due to a powerful story line and a fine lead duet. The principal duo is stars of a pending tragedy as even love offers no escape from forces pulling at their strings. The Olympus and Underworld pantheons seem genuine as if Mary Lennox has a residency on the Mount as proven by this fantastic five star fantasy.
