Verses of Athine: The Daughter of Ares Chronicles Collection - Shannon McRoberts
Verses of Athine: The Daughter of Ares Chronicles Collection by Shannon McRoberts is a highly imaginative retelling of Greek and Norse Mythology. All four verses describe the petty squabbles immortals tend to suffer which invariably lead to devastating wars for us poor mortals. Every God and Goddess is lovingly reinvented from Zeus, his son Ares and to Athine the ultimate warrior who has the entire world on her shoulders. As Athine passes through eons so she must battle vengeful immortals, dragons and vampires. We also discover Amazonians, ferocious female warriors, evil mages and many, many more fantastical creatures to keep the reader entertained. The final verse left me breathless with its completely unexpected twist.
Shannon's magic is evident with every page, using mythology and magic to create an epic fantasy for all the family to enjoy.
I recommend this FIVE STAR Fantasy to any reader who loves great battles, ferocious female warriors, dragons, vampires and pure fun fantasy.
