Synopsis

The world's #1 female Super Hero, Wonder Woman, is back in another breathtaking adventure! This time, Diana will travel to the Underworld to take on Hades--but will she make it out alive?

After Diana thwarts a stunning attempt to defeat the Amazons and Themyscira for good, she has finally been granted permission to start training as a warrior! Except, the goddess Artemis brings news that children all over are disappearing without a trace. Diana is the only one who can be trusted to save them--even if she must confront Hades, Persephone, and all of the undead souls and mythical creatures of the Underworld. That is, until she discovers that a far more sinister villain is out to capture her--and will do whatever it takes to find her. With her warrior training barely underway, will young Wonder Woman be able to rely on her strength from within to save the missing children and defeat Hades? Or will she instead be dragged to the Underworld--forever?

Quotes

"Diana battles external enemies as well as her own internal demons in this fun, fast-paced sequel that mixes Greek mythology with science-fiction elements. [T]he novel does a good job of foretelling the wondrous heroine she will grow up to become: loyal, smart, courageous, and sympathetic to a fault. [...] An entertaining read for Wonder Woman fans new and old."—Kirkus Reviews

"Action-packed... Rollicking good fun. Sure to be popular with Wonder Woman fans and 'Percy Jackson' readers." --School Library Journal
