An heroic, classical story of quest which gains power from its use of jarring, newer elements. The hero is a girl whose language continually challenges the ornate and pompous style of the men in power around her. The islands suffer the autocratic demands of a king bent on waging wars. Eleni is both the prophesied messenger of change. reasserting the old spiritual realties, and a new voice of realism and directness, demonstrating the power of the individual to challenge and change.
