Book excerpt: When Thasos and his family are thrown out of their homeland and left to drift in the open sea, they are rescued by the Keftiu, a people with an unpleasant reputation for human sacrifice. However, to the family's surprise, their rescuers treat them kindly and take them as honoured guests to the peaceful, distant island of Kaftor, where they find a sophisticated and very different civilisation, ruled by women. Thasos and his mother happily settle into the Palace of Cnossos, but his two warrior brothers can't come to terms with life in a matriarchy; a society where war is unheard of and there seems to be no such thing as crime or punishment. They soon find out that the usually placid Keftiu can deal very effectively with anyone who causes trouble. As Thasos grows up, he becomes aware that there is a very dark and troubling underside to this world. Finally his life is placed in terrible danger when he falls under the spell of two of the island's most powerful women: Britomartis, the Goddess of the Hunt and Pasiphae, the Moon Maiden of Cnossos. Sucked into the island's dark, labyrinthine underworld, with no prospect of escape, a terrified Thasos is forced to make a very dangerous choice. The Moon Maiden brings the fascinating, long vanished society of Minoan Crete back to glorious life in a fast-moving tale of love, ambition and betrayal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, a long, long time ago and far, far away, in Japan it was early spring on the coast of Suruga. A rose-tinged cloud from heaven had fallen softly on the branches of a cherry tree. Save for the lap of the sea, there was silence on that remote shore. A far-off sound became audible: it might be the song of falling waters, it might be the voice of the awakening wind, it might be the melody of the clouds. Slowly, imperceptibly, the music came nearer. Above the lofty heights of Mount Fujiyama a snow-white cloud floated earthwards. Nearer and nearer came the music. A low clear voice could be heard chanting a lay that breathed of the peace and tranquillity of the moonlight. The fleecy cloud was borne towards the shore. For one moment it seemed to rest upon the sand, and then it melted away. By the sea stood a glistening maiden. In her hand she carried a heart-shaped instrument, and, as her fingers touched the strings, she sang a heavenly song. She wore a robe of feathers, white and spotless as the breast of the wild swan. Birds flocked around her; they perched on her shoulder, and rubbed their soft heads against her cheek. She stroked them gently and they flew away full of joy. The maiden hung her robe of feathers on a pine branch, and went to bathe in the sea. So why had the beautiful maiden come to earth? What was her purpose? Was she brining a message or was she here to just watch and listen?ÿ Well to find out why she had fallen to earth, you?ll have to download this story and find out for yourself!
