BURBANK, Calif. --- May 15, 2003 -- Angel Gate, a publisher of books, comics and entertainment, announces the July release of 10th Muse, an enticing young adult novel series based on the best-selling comic book of the same name. The opening title of the 10th Muse series, MAZE OF THE MINOTAUR, takes readers on an adventure through Greek mythology as they join the strong lead character in her continuous battle for justice.

Greek mythology tells an enchanting story of nine Muses, all daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus. Each Muse protects a different art or science. Somehow, history neglected the tale of Zeuss youngest daughter -- the 10th muse --- the Muse of Justice. This is teenager Emma Sonnets birthright.

Emma Sonnet is an average high school student. Except she became popular when she made the cheerleading squad. Emma is intelligent, too, because shes also a member of the debate team. And then theres the minor issue of her secret life as a superhero. On second thought, she is not exactly an average high school student. In fact, Emmas the only one that can rescue some mysteriously missing students. As the 10th Muse, she must solve the MAZE OF THE MINOTAUR in time to save them.
