by TL Shively, Rebecca Poole (Illustrator), Partners in Crime (Editor)

Nothing can keep the goddess Calista down, especially when it comes to those she loves.

A horrific experience.
A summons home.
An otherworldly visitor.

The time has come for Calista to return to Atlantis. Yet her homecoming will not be the celebration she hoped for.

Kaine, Solen’s childhood friend, arrives with a warning for Calista. Solen’s fight with the ancients took a turn for the worse. Now, he is on a fast track to destruction. It has been foretold that only Calista can save him from himself.

To fulfill the prophecy, Calista must embark on a journey to the stars filled with wonder, danger, and deceit. Can they survive a battle against the ancients? Or, will the galaxy be painted with their blood? Only the stars know...

Spider’s Return builds really well on the first book. The mythology expands, the stakes get higher, and the story keeps moving at a great pace.

Calista’s growth continues in a way that feels real and meaningful. I liked seeing her face bigger challenges and step more fully into her role. I’m definitely looking forward to the final book in the trilogy.

emotional ride

I’m still reeling. The story draws you in and breaks you apart. Guaranteed to get you invested, even if the turns are not what you expected.
