by KatherineRoberts (Author)

Synopsis

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassos provides the dramatic backdrop to the fourth magical book in The Seven Fabulous Wonders Series. ADVENTURE AND MAGIC IN THE ANCIENT WORLD "We don't want the Macedonians to steal your magic for themselves, do we? It's mine, Alex. You chose me, remember?" Alexis has a magical gift, but it's not one he wants. It hasn't helped him find his father, who has mysteriously disappeared, or freed him from his hard-hearted stepmother. Alex's home is under siege, and he can't do anything about that either. But when Alex and his best friend meet Princess Phoebe, things start to change. Together, they must unlock the murderous secrets of Halicarnassos. Magic is the key, but there may be a high price to pay for bringing statues to life! Murder, political intrigue, power struggles, double agents and a magical gift. An exciting fantasy adventure from award-winning author Katherine Roberts. The Mausoleum Murder follows the highly successful titles: The Great Pyramid Robbery, The Babylon Game and The Amazon Temple Quest.
