From the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year Particularly skilled in evoking the strangeness and contradictoriness of Greek myths Sunday TimesA joyful exploration of one woman’s quest for home, power, identity and ultimately, freedom from fate. A genuine pleasure to read! Clare North, author of Ithaca * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Im a liar, to begin with. I wasnt always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beautyyoull have heard. Its legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me.It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back.But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when youre ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldnt live at someones mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bits not a lie I intended to win. A wonderful tale set in Ancient Greece where a being with no power rises to the very top by outwitting other gods all while maintaining a sense of exactly who she isa goddess who intends to always do it her way.
