Information about this book

Description

Jennifer Saint—the author of Ariadne and Atalanta—turns her focus to the Queen of the Gods. Often cast as the vengeful wife or the “wicked stepmother” in classical myths, Hera is reimagined here as a powerful, complex figure born to rule. The story begins with the uprising against the Titan Cronus and follows Hera as she helps her brother Zeus establish Mount Olympus. However, she soon realizes that Zeus’s reign is becoming just as tyrannical and cruel as their father’s. The novel explores her struggle to find her own agency and forge a better world while trapped in a cycle of divine violence and power struggles.
