Information about this book

Description

From the bestselling author of Ariadne and Elektra, this novel is a feminist reimagining of one of the most unique figures in Greek mythology. Atalanta is a princess left on a mountainside to die because her father wanted a son. Saved by a mother bear and raised under the watchful eye of the goddess Artemis, she grows into a fierce, legendary huntress.

When Jason calls for the greatest heroes in Greece to join his quest for the Golden Fleece, Atalanta joins the Argonauts as the only woman on the ship. The story follows her as she fights to prove her worth in a world of men, all while grappling with Artemis’s warning: if she ever marries, it will be her undoing.
