Starting Point

Below is a reblog of a post by Luciana Cavallaro​ regarding the start of a series of posts about the Ancient Mycenaean Civilization. She is writing a #HistoricalFiction #Mythology series of time travel and a hero’s journey in the the Servant of the Gods series. I’ve read the first book which I gave 5 of 5 stars on Goodreads: Search for the Golden Serpent. I’m eagerly waiting for the next book in the the epic mythological odyssey.

Please enjoy!

Hope you enjoy.
