"Warner brilliantly communicates the kaleidoscope of cultures, tribes and nationalities encountered by Leto on her epic journey. Driven by a mystery that keeps the reader guessing to the final pages, The Leto Bundle has the verve and immediacy of an e-mail...Beautifully written, the language rich and sensuous, with a seductive range of references... Tremendous fun"

    --Literary Review

When a mummy in the Museum of Albion is unpacked it is found to contain a bundle of curious objects and documents which tell of the wanderings of an unknown woman, Leto.

On the run, in a far-offera of civil strife, Leto gives birth to twins, shelters with wolves, survives in a desert stronghold as the lover of its commander.stows away on a ship loaded with plundered antiquities and then works as a maid in a war-torn city. She loses her son but saves her daughter during a long siege. As the novel sweeps from mythological times and the Middle Ages to the treasure-hunting of Victorian Europe and into the present day Leto reappears in different guises. Eventually she becomes a servant to a rock singgers,and begins to search fo her son.
