About the Book

Hera

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of ARIADNE, ELEKTRA and ATALANTA, a propulsive, empowering retelling of Hera, reclaiming her as a feminist hero.

Even the gods must have their queen.

When the immortal goddess Hera and her brother, Zeus, overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams of ruling at his side. But as they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera begins to see that Zeus is just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed. While Zeus ascends, Hera is relegated to the role of wife and mother, a role she never wanted. She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a better world?

In this enthralling retelling, Greek mythology’s most famous and maligned goddess finally tells her own story, as power, passion and divine strength collide in the heart of Olympus.
