Her friends, her lovers, and her mother are all here. But this glimpse of a world outside stirs a higher calling within her. An entire planet cries for help. A whole world needs her protection. And the gods would see her fail. But Diana of Themyscira is a woman of destiny. A woman of power. A woman of wonder...
