She Who Walks the Labyrinth

Minoan Crete is the last stronghold of the Goddess of Ten Thousand Names. In a world torn asunder by invaders, the wealthy island nation is peaceable and sophisticated, but how can it defend against aggressive would-be conquerors without succumbing to what is most dreaded, the glorification of the warrior culture? And now, the great volcano on Santorini (Heria) rumbles too. Ansel is a gifted yet reserved girl who just came of age. Omens suggest that she is chosen to lead her people, but to what end? And how? Theseus is a troubled young man who is capable of both violence and greatness. Can he overcome his past to become a man of wisdom? Or is he doomed to perpetrate evil within the heart of a nation who gambled everything on trusting him? She Who Walks the Labyrinth tackles difficult questions made poignant through the eyes of women and men who face the ruin of everything they care for, yet still struggle heroically to salvage the way of life they so love.
