Synopsis

Do you DARE gaze upon Medusa?

When geology-mad Sam goes to stay with her American cousin, Trey, neither of them have any idea what adventures they're about to unleash. They bring together two pieces of The Heart of Light and -whoosh! - they're thrown back into Ancient Greece, where angry harpies and satyrs live.

That's not all - they've been set the challenge of saving the world from destruction. But first, they need to rescue an enchanted fragment of The Warrior's Shield, protected by a deadly mythical creature. How will they survive a venomous encounter with Medusa...?

About this title

About the Author:

A.J. Hunter is the pen name for two authors, Allan and James, who bonded over their shared love of mythological creatures. After poring over their history books and trawling through the Internet, Myth Raiders was born! When they're not thinking up new adventures for Sam and Trey, they can usually be found indulging one of their many interests, such as practising kung fu, growing beards, writing fantasy novels for Young Adults, helping develop apps and selling flowers in Covent Garden market. But which hobby belongs to which author? Only A.J. Hunter knows the answer to that...
