Synopsis

How would the Sleepers rescue this beautiful woman, helpless against her foes, tied to a tree and facing certain death? After a successful ambush, the Seven Sleepers find that she is anything but helpless. She's Princess Merle, the fierce daughter of Fedor. God has sent the Seven Sleepers on another mission, this time deep into the jungle in search of the Tribe of Fedor. And are they in for a surprise! Enter this topsy-turvy world where the women are savage warriors and the men are little more than slaves. Meet a witch doctor who claims the dark god demands the Sleepers as a sacrifice, and a bushy-headed historian who holds the secrets of the past. Experience the thrill of battle as the Seven Sleepers join in the conflict, seeking to bring peace and lead these women warriors into the house of God.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

"I'm not going!" Abbey said. "And that's final!"

The Seven Sleepers are off on another assignment for Goel, their spiritual leader. Well, most of them are. But not Abbey. Not this time.

How can Abbey know she is about to make the biggest mistake of her life? How can she know that the mysterious Empress of the Underworld is even now plotting to destroy both Abbey and her friends? And how can she know that her disobedience will endanger not only her life but the lives of the other Seepers as well?

Through some hard experiences, Abbey learns that Goel can be trusted and that his lessons are worth learning.

-Flight of the Eagles-#1
-The Gates of Neptune -#2
-The Sword of Camelot-#3
-The Caves That Time Forgot-#4

"You love diamonds and jewels, do you not, Abbey?""Yes, I love them.""They will all be yours, if you come to the truth. . . .I will make you strong, Abbey--and even more beautiful than you are now. You must trust me. You do trust me, don't you?""She's very strange." Something about that last audience with the Empress disturbed Abbey. "I don't--I don't know what to think about her. She kept talking about truth."Luna was a shapeless form, as Abbey began to pass away into sleep. "Truth is hard to find. You know Goÿ©l?""Yes, of course.""Then keep what he has told you in your heart. Others will tell you that they have the truth, but believe them not if it violates what you have been taught by him."
