The Amazon Temple Quest — Katherine Roberts

Lysippe and her sister Tanais, last of the legendary Amazon warrior race, are searching for the lost gryphon stone of their people in the haunted caves and rivers that surround the Black Sea. But they have little idea what awaits them in the lands ruled by men.

Captured by slavers, their only hope of freedom is to claim sanctuary in the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But that sanctuary relies upon the power of the very stone they are seeking… When the famous temple burns and the gryphon flies again, can Lysippe discover the ancient secrets of her people in time to save her sister from a fate worse than death?
