Before they were heroes...The fourth title in the fun and exciting series created by award-winning authors Jane Yolen and Robert J. Harris. Atalanta and the Arcadian Beast is an adventure story from beginning to end, portraying the dramatic events that transform a girl into a legend, and a huntress into a hero. Atalanta's life has always been filled with danger, adventure and mystery. Abandoned as a baby, she was raised in the woods by bears until she was four years old. The woods and her animal friends are the things Atalanta prizes above all others. But when disaster strikes in the form of a vicious creature terrorizing the Arcadian countryside, Atalanta's desire for revenge drives out of the woods and on the beast's trail. Atalanta proves she is as good a hunter as any man, but she has a lot to learn about justice, mercy and her own destiny.
