title: Across a Wine-Dark Sea
author: Bryan, Jessica
description: From the far reaches of the Black Sea to the shimmering isle of Crete, men whispered of their extraordinary beauty and their formidable skill with sword and spear. They were the Amazons. And for the slave takers who stalked the Mediterranean coast, there was no greater prize.
  
  SHE WAS A GLORIOUS WARRIOR WOMAN
  A tawny-haired creature with the face of a goddess and the valiant spirit of a soldier. Yet even as Thalassa released the arrow that would send one more black-hearted adventurer to his death, danger awaited offshore.
  
  HE WAS A MAGNIFICENT GIANT RISING FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
  Dark and dangerous and beguiling as the ocean bottom itself, he plucked her form the waves and spirited her away. Now she was his prisoner, a cherished captive in his glittering undersea kingdom. But even as she succumbed to his tantalizing touch, she could not forget her people. And soon, as a vast fleet set sail carrying Greek soldiers sworn to vanquish the brazen Amazons and tame them into terrible submission, Thalassa and her lusty king would find themselves in the middle of the battle...with their love and their very lives at stake.
