In the last books, Hermes has taken off with Zola's baby, the one everyone believes will take Zeus's place and kill one of the gods for the prophecy says that a child of Zeus will do just that. The other gods are looking to stop Wonder Woman because they believe she may be the one the prophecy pertains to. Hera has lost her powers and her place in Olympus and has found a place with Wonder Woman and Lennox, her brother.
Lennox decides that they need help from other children of Zeus like themselves to help in their fight to find Zola's baby. One such child is Siracca, the wind, who hears everything and might be able to hear Hermes speak and find out where he is hiding. But she isn't too fond of Wonder Woman right now and the two must work something out if she is to get the information from her that she needs.
Siracca isn't the only child of Zeus that they consult. When they consult the other one they meet an unusual man. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, a man has been unearthed by scientists from the ice and he is not happy that seven thousand years had passed since he last walked the earth. War is also up to something and can't be trusted. The colors of the ice dragons' blood are quite vivid and the scene with Siracca is incredibly done in such a windswept way. As usual, the scenes with the gods are tinged with red, to perhaps indicating their bloodlust? I really enjoyed this volume of the series and it stands up well against the other two. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next one.
