Synopsis

The Amazon Temple Quest is the third magical book in the exciting new series The Seven Fabulous Wonders. Based on the seven ancient wonders of the world, Katherine Roberts weaves an enticing web -- where the ancient world meets pure fantasy. The power of the legendary Griffin Stones can ward off death! When King Philip of Macedon invites Lysippe's tribe of exiled Amazon warriors to join his army, they ride west eagerly, hoping to reclaim one of the lost Griffin Stones of their ancestors. But others covet the power of the Stones, and the invitation is not all it seems. Separated from their tribe and taken to Ephesos as a slave, soft-hearted Lysippe has to find the Griffin Stone that can save her fatally-wounded sister. Can Lysippe learn the ancient Amazon skills in time? And what is the secret of the griffins that guard the statue of Artemis in the famous Temple? The Temple of Artemis follows the highly successful titles: The Great Pyramid Robbery and The Babylon Game.
