By Vianka Van Bokkem, Valeria D'Ellena. 2014
Quando Zeus, il padre di tutti gli Dei, scoprì che la sua amata figlia Atena era incinta della figlia di…
Apollo, egli ordinò a tutti gli Dei e a tutte le Dee di mantenere il segreto, poiché desiderava che tutti i mortali credessero che Atena fosse una eterna vergine. Nel momento in cui nacqui, Zeus mi consegnò a una fedele strega mortale chiamata Maia, che significa 'madre nutrice'. Mio padre Apollo dovette farsi fare un incantesimo speciale da Maia perché, essendo Dio della verità, non poteva mentire. Zeus aveva chiesto a Maia di gettare un incantesimo anche su mia madre, così non si sarebbe opposta quando mi avrebbe data via. Maia viveva a Mykonos in Grecia e decise di chiamarmi Myka. Ebbe l'attenzione di gettare su di me il più grande degli incantesimi: sarei stata mortale fino al giorno del mio diciottesimo compleanno.The Three Kingdoms, Volume 3: Welcome the Tiger

Thrones so compelling.The Three Kingdoms is an epic Chinese novel written over six centuries ago. It recounts in vivid historical detail the turbulent years at the close of the Han Dynasty, when China broke into three competing kingdoms and over half the population were either killed or driven from their homes. Part myth, part fact, readers will experience the loyalty and treachery, the brotherhood and rivalry of China's legendary heroes and villains during the most tumultuous period in Chinese history.Considered the greatest work in classic Chinese literature, The Three Kingdoms is read by millions throughout Asia today. Seen not just as a great work of art, many Chinese view it as a guide to success in life and business as well as a work that offers great moral clarity-while many foreigners read it to gain insights into Chinese society and culture.This third volume concludes the tale of Liu Bei and his sworn brothers-in-arms, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, whose loyalty and fidelity are sorely tested in a society at war for its very survival.Valley of Skulls (Slocum #274)
