Synopsis

An action-packed new series set in the mysterious, dangerous Bronze Age

Young Hylas--goatherd, Outsider, thief--is hunted by powerful warriors who want him dead and have kidnapped his sister. Hylas is forced to flee his home, but not before a mysterious stranger gives him a bronze dagger. While on the run, Hylas must use his skill and wits to survive a shipwreck and a great white shark attack, befriend a dolphin, and help Pirra, the runaway daughter of a High Priestess. Together with Pirra, the dolphin, and the valuable bronze sword, Hylas fights to discover why he's being hunted and find his sister before the warriors find them.

Review:

"Paver brings this mysterious period of history to vibrant life in a compelling realistic narrative with some fantasy flourishes. Who knew the Bronze Age could be so fascinating?"--School Library Journal"Richly detailed and historically believable scenes show Paver's commitment to authenticity."--Kirkus Reviews

From the Author:

Dear Reader,

Since I was little, I've adored the myths of Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt, and to write Gods and Warriors, I’ve swum with wild dolphins and climbed an erupting volcano – all to make you feel that you're right there, living the adventure. Amazon readers' opinions matter hugely to me, and you could be among the first to read Gods and Warriors. I really hope you enjoy it.

--Michelle Paver
