Protogenesis: Book One of the Protogena Chronicles — Alysia Helming

A Terrible Tragedy...

One fateful day, life for California teenager Helene Crawford comes to a grinding halt. There was a fire. Her mother is gone . The police say she s dead. But something s not right...a maze of clues lead her to believe that her mom is still alive. 

The Answers lie in Greece...

The Greek Mafia may be involved. She has a crazy godfather in Athens she never knew she had. Vivid dreams of ancient gods consume her sleep. Helene must go to Greece. The answers to her quest to find her mom lie there.

A New Life, New Love...

Suddenly uprooted to move across the world, Helene must survive a new school and navigate the highs and lows of new love.  All of this in Greece, a country embroiled in economic crisis where the kids literally speak Greek . 

A Portal to Another World...

Through this daring journey, Helene will pass through the gates of her past to another world where the roots of modern civilization and the gods of her favorite ancient myths converge in order to find her mom, find herself, find true love, become empowered and transform to fulfill her destiny.

Who knows? Maybe the gods and goddesses are on her side... or maybe not. After all, nothing is as it seems.
