“As a firstborn I also had a duty to succeed my father and look after my mother and siblings. Although school taught me that this was an outdated practice and that I would have been better off focusing on inheriting my father's assets for my own benefit, it was the strong emphasis on family values that ultimately prevailed. This was not because they had sounded good on paper or had been presented by a world-famous researcher, but because I saw they worked through my experience.”

Penelope felt certain she had misunderstood.
Then Pandia handed her a small vial. “This is an elixir from Selene, to counteract your aging. The potion must be taken during the full moon for its strongest effect, but it can be used at other times. The liquid will regenerate,” Pandia explained. “Now I have much to tell you before you leave for Rome.”
“Rome?” Penelope felt suddenly dizzy.
“Yes,” Pandia went on. “The Daughters there need you. You will be their Magna Mater, their guardian mother.”
Suddenly Penelope felt a light from her heart reaching through the ages and connecting with all the Daughters who would come to her, including the one who would one day take her place over two thousand years from now on a continent not yet discovered in a city called Queen of the Angels. The daughters would call her Maggie, for Magna Mater.”
