From one of Greek mythology’s most reviled characters—a woman who challenged men’s absolute power—comes this fiery tale of power, family rivalry, and a mother’s burning love.

This book is perfect for readers of Greek mythology and fans of Costanza Casati’s Clytemnestra, Madeline Miller’s Circe, and Jennifer Saint’s Elektra.
