In "The Circle of Olympians" by Sonya Haramis is an original and engaging story of Greek myth played out in contemporary circumstances by modern characters. Set in California and in Greece, Calliope is a young woman who doesn't realize the odyssey that awaits her when she journeys to Greece to spend the summer with her beloved Grandmother. In the course of this deftly written novel, Calliope becomes aware of some amazing family secrets and meets ancient Hellenic gods who materialize from Olympian legend and lore to compel Calliope to utilize her training in metaphysical and battle arts as part of a spiritual journey culminating in a life-and-death confrontation with her family's despised enemy. Highly recommended for students of Greek mythology, New Age metaphysics enthusiasts, and the non-specialist general reader who enjoys a well crafted novel of magic, myth and spirituality, "The Circle of Olympians" would prove an enduringly popular addition to community library fiction collections.
