Death of Innocence

Najahmara has existed in peace for over three hundred years, hidden in a lush valley, guarded by five tall stones that crown the plateau. Each marker carries a name written in an ancient tongue; four are dead, but the fifth: mortal priestess or lost goddess? War seeks she who serves the Earth, certain the woman is one who ran away from him not once, but twice.
Should Ares find her, vengeance will be his. This novel of mythic proportions brings the mortal world of Najahmara, an ancient village of peaceful folk, into a battle between Love and War. Based on Greek mythology and the true reason the old gods existed, there comes a reckoning for one woman who refused her real identity.
