Washed ashore as a baby and rescued by centaurs, Halo is raised in an idyllic world until the day she is fished from the sea by fisherman and sold into slavery. Thrust into the brutal human world of 500 BC Ancient Greece where centaurs are believed to be mythical creatures Halo determines to protect her family from discovery. She soon finds that a girl with no family and no city is no one in this new world of warring city states. On the run Halo decides to become a boy as she doggedly sets out to find her way back to her centaur family.

This is a thrilling, nail-biting journey through Ancient Greece that brings to life vividly all that dry classical history we learn in school as you hope against all the odds that Halo can make it home.
