Scions of the Aegean C, Descent into the Wilds is Book 1 of the series.
More than a century after an entire colony of people crashed in an unknown world, both the written knowledge of the survivors and fragments of the ship they dismantled in their efforts to stay alive are decaying. As eyewitness accounts of the "Firstlanders" pass from living memory, alternate versions of the colony's history are taking shape.
Members of the fifth generation, Shaye, Jariel, and Ty prepare to take their places as young adults in a growing civilization where each person's quality of life is determined by proof of bloodline, valuable skills . . . or possession of strategic secrets. For someone without one of these, an obscure existence of menial labor is certain, and love is an unattainable luxury. Will the wisdom, liberty, and faith that the Firstlanders brought to this world pass into legend, or will they find a foothold in the fifth generation?
For readers 16 and up, the Scions of the Aegean C series is an epic narrative of love, choices, and God's ability to redeem. The lives of the characters allow readers to see how the choices we make impact our lives. The books in this series can spawn deeper conversations about friendship, purity, sex, and the value of finding a place in a community of faith. These novels will be enjoyed by readers who relish complex characters in richly-textured cultural settings.

Scions of the Aegean C Descent into the Wilds eBook Terry L Craig Reviews
LOVED THIS STORY. Read it in 9 hours and getting ready to jump into book 2. Purchased it from publisher website not . Great book for teens or young adults and those of us who just feel like young adults. Amazing adventure into a future time that inspires us not to lose sight of where we came from.
Overall I thought the story was very good. The beginning was a little difficult to traverse, but after a while (about chapter 4) the characters became familiar enough to keep straight and I grew to like them (or dislike them as the case may be). I thought the author did a nice job of introducing information about them and the new culture in a way that flowed very nicely throughout the rest of the book.
I found the premise of this world very exciting; a society of the future forced to survive on a strange planet and their quest to establish a new civilization. I enjoyed the hints of the society’s previous culture (passed down through the generations) and trying to parallel those to my modern day knowledge and see the similarities of ancient rituals and customs reborn again. Seeing things in our society that popped up again in one started from scratch, shows the human nature that we just might not be able to escape. I feel the author did an excellent job of creating this new society and all the rules and customs that come with it. The references to God make me think that He’ll play a larger role in future books, which has me intrigued to how that will all play out.
The book is the first in a series, thus the title is slightly confusing in that the series name has more prominence than the book title. I must also confess, I had to look up “Scions”, which now makes perfect sense.
Having said all that, the author has me hooked. I will read the second in the series as I now must know what happens to Shaye and if Ty will do the right thing.
I received this book from the publisher through BookCrash. I am not being compensated for my review. If you are interested in purchasing this book you can do so at http//www./Scions-Aegean-Descent-into-Wilds-ebook/dp/B00L1VRUQY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top.
I recently read Secrets of the Aegean C by Terry L. Craig. This book was hard to get into, and I also found it hard to continue reading. However, I believe in finishing what I start, and here is my honest review
The plot started out engaging, but then it seemed to shift gears. I know the dates and times changed in the story as it skipped forward several generations, but it was a dramatic shift that was not clearly defined or described. The storyline itself was exciting, but at the same time it was a little too unrealistic. It held a loose and general belief in a higher being, and the main character Shaye talked about her faith and desire for purity. I believe the characters were believable, and their circumstances were such that many readers could relate to them. However, the dialogue was a little flat and the characters remained rather static. I do believe this book has promise. I am not a published writer, but I feel with some tweaking and reengaging with the plot and characters that this story could be great.
Overall I felt that the book was trying to do too much in too short a length. Craig is a great writer with a flair for the dramatic, but I still felt she needed to slow down the plot and develop the scenes a little more deeply.

This is a very interesting book. I was given a free copy by the publisher through Book Crash in return for an unbiased review.
But it starts with several strikes against it. First of all is the name of the book. It’s nonsense to me, and I don’t have any idea why it’s called this even after I read it. Actually the way the cover is laid out, it looks like Scions of the Aegean C is the title and Decent into the Wilds is the series name. Scions of the Aegean C is what it is called in the emails I read to get the review copy. But, when I get to the title page of the book, I find the reverse is true. The name of the book is Descent into the Wilds which is Book #1 of the Scions of the Aegean C series. , B&N, Smashwords, et al call it Scions of the Aegean C. This is a marketing nightmare.
Then there’s the cover Random abstract color does not give us any indication of the story. Plus, as I mentioned, the book name confusion is made worse by the cover layout. Then the fonts used are very iffy—unrelated to the book aesthetically or emotionally, and very poorly spaced.
I accepted the review because it was described as science fiction. Two thirds of the way through I was disgusted because it seemed to not be science fiction, but a romance on a distant planet. The science fiction aspects are peripheral to the first book. They may be more in play in the second. (Of course, the second is not released yet.) In addition, it’s very hard to know where the story is going, because like many in the new paradigm in self/indie publishing, this is not a book, but the first part of a book. The descent into the wilds is a brief event at the very end of the book. That’s where the excitement starts. And all I have is wish that the book was all here.
I guess I should mention the $8.99 price for the version. Absurd!
So, after all these negatives, here goes. I have to say it
I enjoyed the book!
The character are interesting. The culture is done quite well, and it’s useful as a way to examine religious assumptions that our culture is dealing with. Believers have been reduced to a place of non-influence in the culture. They are almost entirely from a despised race of slaves.
The culture has religious remnants of belief, but basically they are a medieval version of modern day America. But this is a feudal government. So, it does give me a chance to look at religion and faith though different eyes. There’s a lot going on, and it’s a bit of work keeping it all straight. But all of this makes the story interesting.
The belief level? Mainline protestant? Hard to say
The faith mentioned throughout may just be an Old Testament thing, but it actually seems more like modern mainline beliefs—without a personal relationship. God acts on behalf of His people as an outside force which cannot be avoided, I think. But that’s Islam, not Christian. It’s not Evangelical, and certainly not Full Gospel. It’s hard to tell, because all the true faith will be covered in the next book—I think.
Even with all of this against it, I enjoyed reading this book! I’m frustrated that the story stopped in the middle. It seems as if the meat of the book will be in the 2nd book. I would not have read it if I hadn’t accepted the review. Having said that, I’m glad I did. Are you confused yet?
My recommendation Include the second part with the first and re-release it with the actual title of the book, Descent into the Wilds
I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this book, but perhaps even more, I enjoyed the rich description and metaphor the author uses so well. The characters really come alive. Excellent book!
