Middle Grade

The Stone Lions

Recipient of both the B.R.A.G Medallion
and 
Awesome Indies Gold Seal of Excellence

In the last throes of the 14th century, Islamic Spain is under pressure from Castile and Aragon. Ara, the twelve-year old daughter to the Sultan, finds herself in the center of a political intrigue when her eunuch tutor is magically transformed by the evil Wazir. Can a little girl save her friend and tutor with the help of a Sufi mathemagician.

Intertwined in a mystery of math, art and magic, Ara races to find the seven broken symmetries before time runs out? Will she succeed or will the Alhambra fall and with it all that she loves?\
And will the stone lions awaken in time to help her?

This cross-cultural fantasy combines mystery and math to teach the geometry of symmetry.
