'The pleasure of your company is desired for cocktails and conversation. 8pm, 4th September. Warrior's Peak.'

When Malory Price is issued with the above invitation she is naturally suspicious. But with her overdraft at crisis limit and on the verge of losing her job, she has little to lose by attending the event.

Only Malory is about to get more than she bargained for. At Warrior's Peak she finds that she and two other women are the only guests of their mysterious hosts. They are told an amazing story of magic, gods and goddesses; and of three demi-goddesses who have been cast into an eternal sleep, their mortal souls placed under lock and key. And in every generation, three women are born who alone have the power to free them - if they are prepared to accept the challenge.
