Zenobia - Challenging the Legend, a young adult historical series about the warrior queen Zenobia

Russ Wallace, the author of Zenobia - Birth of a Legend is hard at work getting book two, Zenobia - Challenging a Legend ready for release. 

You can read from our website http://geodepress.com/ as we highlight book two in our young adult historical series about the warrior queen Zenobia. 

We'll share with you some of the research we do to make sure it's historically accurate to 3rd century when Zenobia lived. We're finding all kinds of interesting tidbits about ancient history while doing the editing process. 

For example, While Zenobia is in Alexandria, Egypt she finds herself in a deadly situation as a wicked blood thirsty man  is wanting to seduce her and gives her a gift- a sapphire necklace with an alloy of gold that looks like silver.
