Casandra believes that magic is for desperate people who gave up on their
chances of victory. The world is a harsh place where people abuse one another and you must have a thick skin to make it. Forgiveness is not on her list of attributes.
While on a trip to Alexandria with her archeologist father, she discovers an ancient crown which changes everything. The crown opens her eyes to a world of the dead, where dwells a young man who sets her world into a spiral. He shows her that many of her assumptions about her place in life, her ideas of reality, and most importantly, what she felt love was, are not real after all.

The two set off across the desert and even speak to the ancient voices of the oracles discovering who they are and were meant to be. The entwining love between them blossoms as they grow on their journey of adventure, battles, and struggles to become complete.

Uncovering the Goddess of Death

They rested the remainder of the day under the shade of a grove. They made a campfire and Lakis cooked some kind of small animal. She wasn’t really sure what it was, but to her surprise it tasted okay. She  wasn’t so sure if it was just better than the stale bread they ate on the ship or if it was really good, but either way she enjoyed it.


Lakis looked tired, but he smiled at her. He tried to give some meat to the hound, but it lifted its head from his paws and let out a low growl. Lakis scowled, seeming disappointed. Cassandra grabbed a chunk of meat from the little animal and held it out to the the hound. He perked up his head and gratefully consumed it in a few bites. Lakis looked disappointed and she reached out and gently touched his arm. 


“Hey, it’s okay,” she said reassuringly. “Dogs are usually protective of the one they view as their owner. He’s just very protective, he’ll warm up to you.”
