Barbara T. Cerny has created a magical world that rivals that of Tolkien’s Middle Earth in Shield of the Palidine and its sequel, ‘Magic Thief of Gavalos.’ - Melinda Hills, Readers’ Favorite Review Seventeen years later, Amorgos once again calls for Pierre and Elise Tonnelier. Amorgos is bereft of magic and Elise, the Redeemer, finds herself reluctantly leading the races to save their world, just as she finds herself trying to save her marriage. Teenagers Elam and Illieya Tonnelier and friend, Chace Bagot, do the one thing they have been told to never do: touch the Sword of the Western Sun. Its portal stone sends them to a world worse than Amorgos; it sends them to Olympus. There they face the gods of Greek mythology and begin a quest to destroy Zeus, the most powerful witch who ever lived. Magic Thief of Gavalos, sequel to Shield of the Palidine, chronicles two incredible journeys: Elise and Pierre on Amorgos, and five years in the lives of Illieya, Elam, and Chace as they battle witches and each other. Both groups must come to terms with themselves and their relationships to save Amorgos, Olympus, and their families. Barbara T. Cerny grew up in Grand Junction, Colorado.
