The Greece of The Door in the Mountain (Book 1 of a two-part series) is a place where children are marked by gods and goddesses; a place where a manipulative, bitter princess named Ariadne devises a mountain prison for her hated half-brother, where a boy named Icarus tries, and fails, to fly, and a slave girl changes the paths of all their lives forever. "The novel is an engaging retelling of a familiar Greek myth that will please fans of Greek mythology and also serve as an accessible introduction to the stories for new readers." - CM Magazine
