Synopsis: Before she became Queen of the Amazons, young Hippolyta fought to break a goddess&’s curse . . . An ancient prophecy states that any Amazon who bears two sons must kill the second, lest he grow up to destroy all the Amazons.

In order to save her baby brother&’s life, Hippolyta must find a lost city and lift a goddess&’s curse. Along the way, she will need help from an unexpected source: a newly discovered brother.
