''Cybele's Secret'' is a sequel to ''Wildwood Dancing'', but can be easily read as a stand-alone-novel. It's narrated by Paula, the scholarly of the sisters that were introduced in the previous novel, and it follows her on a trading trip to Istanbul with her father. It's not a normal trip, though, as they are looking to purchase a mysterious and ancient artifact known as Cybele's Gift. It links to mysterious old cult, possibly undergoing revival and has supposedly magical powers, able to bring amazing rewards, but in the wrong hands capable of inflicting great misery.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
For a wonderful, evocative and totally convincing story of the past with a strong female lead, great other characters, a lot of adventure and a sprinkle of romance, look no further than [[Gatty's Tale]]. Older teens will appreciate [[The Map of Time by Felix J Palma]].
