Protogenesis

Book excerpt: An American girl in Greece, a loss, a quest, a love triangle, a prophecy, her destiny... Ancient gods and science fiction unite. One fateful day, life for California teenager Helene Crawford comes to a grinding halt. There was a fire. Her mother is "gone." The police say she's dead. But something's not right...a maze of clues lead her to believe that her mom is still alive. The Greek Mafia may be involved. She has a crazy godfather in Athens she never knew she had. Vivid dreams of ancient gods consume her sleep. Helene must go to Greece. The answers to her quest to find her mom lie there. Suddenly uprooted to move across the world, Helene must survive a new school and navigate the highs and lows of new love. All of this in Greece, a country embroiled in economic crisis where the kids literally speak "Greek." Through this daring journey, Helene will pass through the gates of her past to another world where the roots of modern civilization and the gods of her favorite ancient myths converge - in order to find her mom, find herself, find true love, become empowered and transform to fulfill her destiny. Who knows? Maybe the gods and goddesses are on her side... or maybe not. After all, nothing is as it seems. Original Song created for Protogenesis and performed by Greek Music Artist, Kostas Martakis, in collaboration with Panik Entertainment Group.
