Io Puella Fortis, vol. 1: Io et Tabellae Magicae

Io is tired of her life in a small town in ancient Greece. She is growing up fast but is frustrated that her mother still treats her like a child.

One day, Io finds a wax tablet and stylus in a mysterious clearing in the woods. She is surprised to discover that a single sentence has been written on the tablet: “Hello, Io.”

Who left the message? How do they know Io’s name? Io immediately decides to solve this mystery, a decision that entangles her, her sister Eugenia, and her friend Chloe in a thrilling and dangerous adventure.

Io et Tabellae Magicae is the first volume of the two-part series Io Puella Fortis. Her story continues in Io et Monstrum Horrificum. As with the other Comprehensible Classics novellas, this mini-series uses a limited vocabulary to tell an exciting story accessible to advanced-beginner Latin readers.
