But a fatal prophecy foretells doom and destruction! When an earthquake strikes and the Colossus of Rhodes collapses, humans and an ancient race of sea creatures&#8212;the telchines&#8212;come face to face. At the center of the struggle is a living Gift from the gods with magical powers for good and ill. A girl sponge diver, half-human and half-telchine, must restore the Gift and reveal an ancient prophecy, but she herself is struggling to come to terms with her mixed heritage. Snatched from her home by those intent on securing the Gift's powers, she is befriended by a trainee priestess and a gang of robber children, and with them battles with corrupt priests and scheming Councillors. But what is the strange Gift? Who can she trust? And which race will she ultimately side with&#8212;human or telchine?</div></div> 837087 1 8 2005 The Colossus Crisis (Seven Fabulous Wonders) total:4|5:2|4:1|3:1| 4 17 6 0 5 0 false false Thu Jul 30 23:27:04 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 23:27:04 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Sep 06 07:23:18 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 17:16:45 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 07:23:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 10:59:58 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 10:59:58 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 19 18:28:12 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 18:28:21 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Oct 09 13:58:12 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 13:58:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Aug 27 15:31:52 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 15:31:52 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=851578
