In ancient Akrotiri, a young girl is learning mysteries from a tutor, who, quite literally, fell from the skies. With his encouragement she can fly and surf the time streams and see something of the future. But then the demons come. Death and disaster are meted out by the gods of her land. Perhaps retribution for some heinous crime... or something far more sinister? No library descriptions found. |
