Modern-day teens Brahm and Mia Mazandarani find a strange box in Egypt that bears the same odd shape of their own unusual birthmarks. The box is filled with items from a long-distant past, including a book of powerful magic spells from an ancient civilization called the Arionon.

Learning of their mother’s Tonnelier family legend, their adventurous Persian-born father, Teymouri, decides to see if they can find the elusive portal to the place the legend calls Amorgos. The portal stone instead sends them to the very place they wish to avoid, Olympus–a world still filled with the Greek gods of old.

Book of the Arionon is the third book of The Palidine Series, where author Barbara T. Cerny has created a magical world rivaling that of Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

This new adventure reunites the characters of the first two books, Shield of the Palidine and Magic Thief of Gavalos. Elf Queen Elise and her consort, Pierre, must finish raising the twins to adulthood, keep track of their own brood, and ensure Olympus doesn’t remain enslaved.
