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

	Casandra gazed down in astonishment at the sudden appearance of a beautifully plumage bird of about two feet in height. It stood there on the ground and Casandra was amazed at the resemblance it held to the bird in the painting. 


	“Hello,” she whispered, stroking the small bird gently and it did not fly away. “What is your name?”


	It looked back at her with piercing eyes and flew upwards and perched upon the stone of an outcropping of rock. It cocked its head to either side as if analyzing her and Lakis. The bird seemed to be concerned when it saw Lakis and quickly turned its eyes back to Casandra. 


	“None of the animals seem to like you very much!” Cassandra declared jokingly to Lakis, who only looked back at her in annoyance. 


	Suddenly, she caught her breath in her throat as she gasped. She looked up at the bird and then back over to Lakis and then back to the bird again.
