From the beloved, bestselling author of Elektra and Ariadne, a reimagining of the myth of Atalanta, a fierce huntress raised by bears and the only woman in the world’s most famous band of heroes, the Argonauts Princess, Warrior, Lover, Hero When Princess Atalanta is born, a daughter rather than the son her parents hoped for, she is left on a mountainside to die. But even then, she is a survivor. Raised by a mother bear under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis, Atalanta grows up wild and free, with just one condition: if she marries, Artemis warns, it will be her undoing. Although she loves her beautiful forest home, Atalanta yearns for adventure. When Artemis offers her the chance to fight in her name alongside the Argonauts, the fiercest band of warriors the world has ever seen, Atalanta seizes it. The Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece is filled with impossible challenges, but Atalanta proves herself equal to the men she fights alongside. As she is swept into a passionate affair, in defiance of Artemis's warning, she begins to question the goddess's true intentions. Can Atalanta carve out her own legendary place in a world of men, while staying true to her heart? Full of joy, passion, and adventure, Atalanta is the story of a woman who refuses to be contained. Jennifer Saint places Atalanta in the pantheon of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology, where she belongs.

The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.

Britská autorka vypráví příběh Ariadny, klíčové postavy z klasického řeckého mýtu o Théseovi. Krásná Ariadna, dcera mocného krétského krále Mínóa, vyrůstá se svými sourozenci v paláci, v jehož podzemí je uvězněný Mínótauros, napůl býk, napůl člověk. Jednou z jeho dalších obětí se má stát mladý athénský princ Théseus, ale Ariadna se do něj zamiluje a pomůže mu. Její nit ho bezpečně vyvede ze zrádného labyrintu. Ale co se stane poté, co je monstrum poraženo a princezna odejde s hrdinou? Zajistí jí rozhodnutí zradit Krétu šťastný konec? Ve světě, kde rozhodují muži - a vrtkaví bohové, není nic jisté.
