Summary
The Greek gods once again take an active role in human events when one of Artemis’s nymphs is transformed into the primal Great Goddess. The reader is swept into tales of high fashion, Cycladic islands, satyrs, alliances between the gods, and a powerful love story. You’ll feel like you’re on a first name basis with these deities. Timessa is chosen by Gaia to become the re-creation of the ancient Great Goddess from pre-history. In short order she becomes an internationally-famous fashion model and leader of a group of young followers. However, she is tormented by continuous mental and physical changes she does not understand. She finds some solace in the company of women, but is increasingly unhinged. The Olympic gods recognize her growing power, and are concerned about how she’ll use it. Demonstrating her new abilities, she visits the desolate island of Delos south of Athens where she dances over the old stones. The alchemy of her ancient steps awakens several of the Olympic gods — 1600 years earlier they had retreated there to escape the changing world. Now the remaining divinities are astonished at her mastery of long-forgotten sacraments. One of the divinities who escapes the island is the war-god Ares. Weeks later in a small town in France, Timessa and Artemis confront him in an epic battle -- only this time, the battle gear is Timessa’s shear bodice, ruffled skirt and stilettos. The conflict confirms her ascendence as a divinity whose powers supersede the Olympic gods.Book information
