Pandora's Key

Read Pandora's Key Storyline:

The key to saving the world hangs from her neck... Sixteen-year-old Evangeline Theopolis doesn’t know her father, her mother is having delusions, and her godmother is, at the very least, a murderer. A clandestine Order called the Archivists is trying to find and kill her for a magical talisman she believes is just a necklace with an antique key charm. And an ancient and lethal female Sect is bent on kidnapping her. To fight her deadly adversaries Evangeline is forced to use both her wits and the supernatural talents she never imagined she possessed. Her journey takes her to the steps of Mount Olympus where she will discover her true identity and have a decision to make: accept who she really is or take responsibility for the destruction of the world. PANDORA’S KEY is a fast-paced, edgy urban fantasy about a young woman’s treacherous path to self-awareness and the realization that sometimes you have to play the hero in your own life’s story. Fans of Suzanne Collins and Stephenie Meyer will appreciate the magic infused gritty realism, flawed yet powerful heroine, intricate plot and cast of characters to love, despise or pity.Review"With vivid imagery, compelling characters and plenty of bursts of action, this first novel weaving mythology and contemporary teenage troubles is thrillingly memorable!"
 --Kirkus "In... The Key Trilogy, an Oregon girl's life is uprooted by the discovery of her pivotal role in a prophecy stemming from Greek mythology... Surprising twists add to the story's intrigue. The co-author of several sports autobiographies, Fischer hits her stride in this quick-paced novel."
--Publishers Weekly Winner of the 2012 IndieReader Discovery Award - 1st place Young Adult Fiction. From the AuthorPandora's Key was born out of simple idea: What if Pandora's Box was real? Then I asked myself, what if the box that housed Furies created by the Gods to punish Mankind still existed? And what if there was something inside that box that wasn't released by the original Pandora because besides being beautiful, talented and curious she was also smart? Finally, what if I wanted to twist the ancient myth a bit more and tell a story set in the present?Pandora's Key and Evangeline's journey revolve around all the ideas above, and also the question of whether Evangeline can become the heroine of her own life's story. That's no easy task for anyone - whether they're a descendant of Pandora who doesn't know their lineage; or a regular teen trying to navigate through the impossibly complicated journey of coming-of-age; or an adult facing loss, addiction, or the terrifying idea of loving again after tragedy.I believe there's something for everyone in Pandora's Key. If you enjoy urban fantasy/magical realism, a complex plot, compelling characters of all ages, and non-stop action combined with suspense, then I hope that you'll give Pandora's Key a try!
