Lykaia Sharon Van Ormen Sophia is a medical examiner who is deeply rooted
in science and fact. When her two brothers temporarily
move to Greece to explore their roots, they become
fascinated by folklore and tales of werewolves, kings,
and priests. Shortly after their move, Sophia and her
mother stop receiving calls and emails from them. When
three months pass without any word from either, she
hops aboard a plane to Greece in search of them. While
going through their apartment looking for clues, she
discovers one brother's extensive collection of notes
and research on the werewolf folklore. Although she
believes the tales to be completely absurd, having
nothing else to go on she follows her brother's research
hoping it will lead her to them. Along the way she
uncovers truths she does not want to see nor believe,
truths that completely contradict laws of nature, and
eventually she must accept these truths in order to survive. This book was very exciting, and had a great historical
aspect to it. I couldn't stop reading. The detail the
author got into when describing the history of the
folklore and in detailing ceremonial rights was excellent.
My only complaint would have to be that the book jumped
around a bit, following different characters over the
course of thousands of years, and was occasionally hard
to keep track of where you were at and at what point in
history. In the end, all I can say is, IS THERE GOING
TO BE A SEQUEL???
