This book, the 2nd in the "Penthesilea's Wish" trilogy, is the continuation of the heroic saga lived out by a phenomenal woman in the past--Penthesilea, legendary queen of the Amazons. It traces the parallel plots of her life and that of a contemporary young woman's living in San Francisco today. 

The story revolves around Daniela Collins' fatalistic connection to a discovery made on a remote California cliff involving the wish of Penthesilea, some three thousand years before. That discovery sets off a chain of mysteries which connect to distant legends of the Amazons and their legacy's intriguing connection to the New World. 

This 2nd volume traces the workings of the secret society of women who patiently and tenaciously held on to Penthesilea's ambitious wish throughout their respective ages. How they carried it through royal courts of power and intrigue, right into the future--and our present. The sisterhood which has emerged today prepares to release its bold potentials in our own times. Their clandestine message--invoked by Penthesilea and carried forward by Daniela, threatens to alter the uneven playing field beneath the age-old 'battle of the sexes.' 

This historical novel has elements of romance, action, and a mystery that will keep the reader guessing about that phenomenal wish brought forth by Penthesilea. And how it will emerge, changing our lives forever. 

In "Penthesilea's Wish: Volume Two," be prepared to be further entertained and enlightened.

"So if we don't get there soon, we lose, right? We lose Merlin and Hera will end the world?" "Camelot will end, Greece will end... Even your own world will be gone." 'You knights are our only hope.' Luna's signing really sold it. If they didn't stop Hera soon, the whole world would end. "Alright. What do we have to do?" ********** As far as the world knows, Camelot and ancient Greece never conflicted. Never associated, never spoke, never interacted. In fact, it would be safe to say that the two worlds didn't even exist at the same time. Until they do. An untold story that changes every story you've ever known. The Knights of Camelot rule as kings and queens, the first since the death of the legendary King Arthur. Sharing the duties among the six of them and under the guidance of the warlock, Merlin, these teenagers travel between Camelot and the modern world, the first time travelers, to protect the land they've adopted as their own. The Goddlets are used to living in a world of their own. As the children of the gods, they are used to getting away with whatever they want. Not used to many changes in their quiet world, they aren't prepared for what comes next. When the Knights and the Goddlets are called together on a quest to save Merlin from the clutches of Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, two very different worlds collide in a race against the clock to save the world. With limited time at their hands and everything they know and love at stake, the Knights and the Goddlets team up to put an end to Hera's destructive reign. The worlds of Camelot and ancient Greece collide in this action-packed book. Classic characters meet new faces in a complete retelling of universes people both know and love. {Entered in the Open Novella Contest under prompt 83: "This assignment requires us to act like adults.
