Book Description
Rome, AD 72. Falco returns home from a six-month mission to the German legions. But trouble is in store for him: his apartment has been wrecked by squatters, and an ex-legionary friend of his colorfully heroic brother Festus is demanding money, allegedly owed him as the result of one of Festus's wild schemes. Worse still, the only client Falco can get is his mother-who wants him to clear the family name. Then, just as Falco thinks things can only get better, fate takes a turn for the worse. The legionary is found viciously stabbed to death, with Falco the prime suspect. Now he has only three days to prove he is not a murderer, to trace the real suspect, amass evidence, and win a fortune.

Sold into slavery as a boy, he fought his way to freedom - and then to everlasting fame: standing alongside the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon where the Greeks crushed the invading Persians. Sometimes, however, a man's greatest triumph is followed by his greatest sorrow. Returning to his farm, Arimnestos finds that his wife Euphoria has died in childbirth, and in an instant his laurels turn to dust. But the gods are not finished with Arimnestos yet. With nothing left to live for, he throws himself from a cliff into the sea, only to be pulled by strong arms from death's embrace. When he awakes, he finds himself chained to an oar in a Phoenician trireme. And so begins an epic journey that will take Arimnestos and a motley crew of fellow galley slaves to the limits of their courage, and beyond the edge of the known world, in a quest for freedom, revenge - and a cargo so precious it's worth dying for.

Book Description
Of all the mysteries the oceans hold, sea creatures are among the oldest legends known to mankind. This fantasy saga delves into one of them. Over thousands of years and sparse sightings, eyewitness accounts often become local myth, or even legend. In the present day, a diver named Mark is clearing abandoned fishing nets, when he accidentally crosses paths with a mythical creature, one that will change his life and the lives of those closest to him forever. Mark discovers that many ships over the centuries were supposedly sunk by this legend. Now he and his girlfriend Robyn are treading the fine edge of danger. Will Mark’s discovery bring him fame and fortune . . . or disaster? A double-edged sword separates fact from fiction, and comes at the price of death or reward. Who lives and who dies is part of everyone’s journey, but becoming a legend is at the heart of Poseidon’s Legacy.

Book Description
"Have you ever wondered why, out of all the mortals the universe could have picked for this task, it picked you?" After stealing Hades's Helm of Darkness and narrowly escaping the Underworld, Andy and Zoey are ready to embark on the second quest they must complete before they're prepared to lead a war on the gods—that is, traveling to Poseidon's undersea palace and stealing the Sea God's legendary Trident. Having no idea how to get there, the teens and their friends travel to the lair of the all-knowing Fates and ask for a clue, soon discovering the only person who can help them is a Titan named Prometheus who's been imprisoned by Zeus. The problem? He won't help unless the group manages to free him of his seemingly unbreakable chains. Andy and Zoey will have to find a way to free Prometheus as they battle enemy demigods and nightmarish creatures of myth—all while they begin to discover the secrets of their past. Gods. Monsters. Magic. War on the Gods is a completed series perfect for fans of Greek mythology and dark YA fantasy. Binge it today! Praise for Poseidon's Trident: "Mobley has crafted yet again another perfect book. The momentum of the plot and dynamic of the characters in the first book carried over well into the sequel, and there was never a dull moment." - Alexia at BookishEnds, ★★★★★ "Andy and Zoey's quest to save humanity, one impossible task at a time, will come with shocking revelations and deadly foes, as A.P. Mobley leads us on a journey filled with powerful gods, mythical creatures and an adventure that will fuel the imagination." - Dianne at Tome Tender, ★★★★★ "As consistent with the previous book, the imagery was substantial and Mobley has created a full world packed with intense action and emotion." - Julia at Pages for Thoughts, ★★★★★ "After discovering in book one that two mere mortals had been chosen to battle and defeat the Greek gods in order to save humanity, I was utterly hooked. Once they had successfully obtained the first item to aid them in the battle, the Helm of Darkness, I was shaken. Now that I’ve just witnessed their journey to steal their second item, Poseidon’s Trident, no less, I am completely and irrevocably devoted to this quest and everyone involved." - JK at Book Odyssey, ★★★★ "A really fascinating read with the same power and gripping storyline like in the first part." - Eszter Szika at Goodreads, ★★★★★ "This book has messed my head up so bad that I can't think straight anymore! I need to read The Master Lightning Bolt (book #3) right now or I don't think I'm going to survive the night." - P.G. at Goodreads, ★★★★★ "This was an excellent sequel and in fact, I liked it even more than the first one." - Eileen at Goodreads, ★★★★★
