CLYTEMNESTRA by Costanza Casati
For fans of Madeline Miller's CIRCE, a stunning debut following Clytemnestra, the most notorious villainess of the ancient world and the events that forged her into the legendary queen.
As for queens, they are either hated or forgotten. She already knows which option suits her best…
You were born to a king, but you marry a tyrant. You stand by helplessly as he sacrifices your child to placate the gods. You watch him wage war on a foreign shore, and you comfort yourself with violent thoughts of your own. Because this was not the first offense against you. This was not the life you ever deserved. And this will not be your undoing. Slowly you plot.
But when your husband returns in triumph, you become a woman with a choice.
Acceptance or vengeance, infamy follows both. So you bide your time and force the gods' hands in the game of retribution. For you understood something long ago that the others never did.
If power isn't given to you, you have to take it for yourself.
For fans of Jennifer Saint and Natalie Haynes, this blazing novel set in the world of Ancient Greece is a thrilling tale of power and prophecies, of hatred and love, and of an unforgettable Queen who fiercely dealt out death to those who wronged her.
