About
MAVi AT was published by Dedalus–Koyu Kitap Evi in 2014.
The story in the novel takes us back to many thousands of years ago when a girl from the Tyrrheria palace and a boy from a farm fell in love. No matter what the rich family did to break the young couple, the lovers broke all the rules with eloping and escaping to an island called Deucalion with the help of a philosopher. After the young couple made Deucalion their home, they welcomed their twin girls Cleito and Niobe into their life. And then, the Phelleus family lived happily ever after…
… until MAVi AT arrives. MAVi AT is a sea monster or at least this is what the Giant of the island believes. So, when a powerful earthquake shakes and breaks the island, it also kills and breaks the families including Phelleus family. Whatever the couple does, does not help to find their girls.
We find Cleito saved by Phroneus who has mysterious background; Niobe sheltered by the philosopher Hermocrates and his two students. When some years pass, Niobe finds the meaning of life in flowers and poetry, Cleito becomes an ambitious horse rider. She is obsessed with winning the Big Race which traditionally never included females before. Cleito is not the only one who is eagerly waiting for the Big Race. Lunaria brothers are also preparing to win as it’s their tradition of bringing the cup home.
Lots of characters with big dreams face many challenges sometimes as fun as a race, sometimes as cruel as King’s rules, sometimes as huge as the end of world disasters. The question here is what do you do when you have a choice? Take your family. Runaway. Be safe. That makes sense. But what if the sense is not your savior, but resistance and magic in love are.
