by Jill D Hidy

The Old Where modern day Greece, meets old world mythology.Still reeling from the sudden and tragic death of her parents, 22 year old Aria escapes to her family’s vacation home in Greece. But when a simple dream opens a portal into another dimension, Aria finds herself immersed in a world her parents sacrificed everything to keep her from. A world ruled by vengeful gods but where love can be measured by a mere touch.Guided by the family she never knew existed, Aria begins to learn of a prophecy with the power to turn gods against one another in a war that could seal not only her fate but the fate of the man she is forbidden to love – a man who’s identity alone can change her life forever. Some say love is blind but in The Old World, bloodlines run deep and family comes first…even if it means sacrificing your own.“Many things await you, child. Things so magnificent that words fall short of describing their beauty. Many have hoped for your return while others believe you to be a myth. Now you have the choice to live your destiny and leave your old life in the past.” Constantine

Through a portal in Greece is the old world where gods and goddesses exist, a world where conservative-minded Aria is offered a refuge after the death of her parents. Once there she begins a metamorphosis of sorts, discovering secrets long hidden with a family she never knew existed and finds a love she never expected. But soon she's thrust into warring families and betrayal. If she is to survive in this world with her heart intact she will need to figure out friend from foe and make choices that might weigh love over family. The Old World will definitely resonate with any readers of fantasy and romance who seek that perfect balance of escape. The second book of the series is already. I cannot wait to start reading book two, Birthright.
