    About this ebook

    Since Sandy Frederick first set foot on the volcanic Greek isle of Thera, this breathtaking place of ancient myth and mystery has haunted her dreams. Joining her estranged, obsessed father on a dive to find astonishing secrets from the ocean's floor, she cannot shake the feeling that she was meant to be here; that some ancient, inscrutable power is calling to her. But there are others who have been eagerly waiting for her arrival to drag her into a tangled and terrifying web of secrets, dark superstition, betrayal, blood, and death. And suddenly Sandy's heritage and her destiny could be her doom.

      I enjoyed this book much more than I did my mother's copy, which was the paperback with Ariadne "Sandy" Frederick standing in the water with the filmy skirts of her white dress billowing about her. That's because this time I knew that this book should have come out under Ms. Mertz's other pen name of "Elizabeth Peters". On the whole, the supernatural element tends to be stronger in the books published under her "Barbara Michaels" pen name. Keep that in mind and you're not likely to be disapointed, as I was before. Do look up the Herakleion (also spelled "Heraklion") Archeological Museum online to see images of the items Sandy saw. They're well worth the time.

      Maybe I liked this as I read just prior to my own trip to Greece or maybe because I have a soft spot for Archaeology, but I found this to be a darn good read.

      Sandy has a normal life. She was a mid-grade student through school. The only unusual things that have happened to her are discovering a sunken Spanish galleon and occasionally receiving packages from the absent minded archaeologist father she’s never met. Unfortunately, finding a sunken ship does not make one rich. Which is why, when Sandy’s father shows up in her dorm and offers her a job for the summer she finds it difficult to refuse. Then he tells her that the job consists of conducting illegal underwater archaeological excavations in Thera off the coast of Crete. When she arrives it turns out that things are stranger than she had supposed. Sandy’s real name is Ariadne, named for the Minoan princess from Mythology. When she sets foot in the palace at Knossos she suddenly remembers parts of Ariadne’s life. Then there are the events that happened around Crete during World War II. The German occupation and the Cretan resistance left scars on the people and the island. Thera is alive with memories of the past; both ancient and recent. And some memories can be deadly.
