Into her teenage years, she is protected by the reputation of her adored father, but with the death of Alexander the Great, her fortunes suddenly change. Aristotle's family is forced to flee Athens for a small town, where the great philosopher soon dies, and orphaned Pythias quickly discovers that the world is not a place of logic after all, but one of superstition. As threats close in on her, she will need every ounce of wit she possesses, and the courage to seek refuge where she least expects it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eANNABEL LYON's first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Golden Mean\u003c\/i\u003e, was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize.
