Her heart is torn between worry for her brother and a growing attraction to her companion, and her nights are haunted by a shadowy specter seeking to bring her mission to an untimely end. With each step of her journey she battles foes from the ancient myths of Greece alongside her guide, the enigmatic and flirtatious god Apollo, who has a secret agenda of his own. In return for her brother’s life, Daphne must find and return mysterious objects stolen from Mount Olympus. Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body into a weapon, her heart and mind into stone, to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. When the goddess Artemis holds Daphne’s brother for ransom, she must leave behind her family, friends and Sparta to travel across the dangerous and unforgiving world of ancient Greece. I’m including my query letter below (which might be embarrassing someday) because it was, ultimately, successful. First things first, the place to start – once you’ve finished writing and revising your novel, of course – is to start drafting that query letter.
