I loved it." -Vicky Alvear Shecter, Author of Cleopatra's Moon, Curses and Smoke & many othersAbout Oracle of the Song:Determined to save her best friend Sophia, Thaleia-the young Oracle of Delphi-descends into the Underworld, a forbidden land from which none escape.But does Sophia want to be saved? If so, why does she trick Thaleia to drink from the River of Forgetfulness, so she no longer knows the reason she descended into Hades' Realm?Thaleia prays for the gods' help. Instead of their guidance, she encounters Hades' rage and Athena's jealous fury.Always, the gods defy her.Beneath fire skies, Thaleia outwits Typhon, a hundred-headed sea monster, challenges the Graeae-three hags who share one eye and one tooth between them and risks being turned to stone with the gaze of Medusa, a snake-haired priestess.Ultimately, all paths lead to Hades Palace and a box hidden beneath Queen Persephone's bed. Can Thaleia stop blaming the gods for her friend's death? Can she let honesty and courage guide her? Can she bring Sophia home?
