Ancient Greece comes alive in this gripping novel of mythology, adventure, and romance. In a time when the gods still walk the earth, a Macedonian king provoked by greed prepares to conquer neighboring Thessaly, renowned for its culture and riches. The goddess Artemis has marked Princess Atalante of Thessaly as the Sign Bearer and war leader of her country. Atalante hones her skills as war leader and accepts her fate to never know a man's love. Prince Melanion of Macedonia battles his own demons. Torn between loyalty to his father, the king, and his childhood vow to protect Thessaly, his mother's homeland, he escapes to the bordering mountains, where he meets Atalante. Drawn by trust and a burgeoning desire, they pledge at the altar of Artemis to attempt to avert the war to come.
