Amidst turmoil, Perse emerges as a beacon of peace, driven by resilience despite loss. Kouidou-Giles's "Perse" delves into themes of tragedy, resilience, and the pursuit of peace amidst strife, standing as a poignant addition to the Greek myth-inspired series."

Advanced Praise for Circle of Peace - A Greek Tale of Perse's Great Hall

In ancient Greece, one goddess will dare—to outwit her powerful sun-god husband, to defy the war-hawk Olympian gods, and to rally sister goddesses in a bold strategy for peace. In Circle of Peace, Queen Perse epitomizes beauty, allure, and wisdom, endeavoring to safeguard the world for innocent mortals.

Jean Gilbertson, author of Dancing on the Whisper of God: A Novel
