From the author of Herc. , a Waterstones Best Book of the Year. For fans of Greek mythology, Glorious Exploits. and The Odyssey. 'Particularly skilled in evoking the strangeness and contradictoriness of Greek myths' Sunday Times. 'A joyful exploration of one woman's quest for home, power, identity. A genuine pleasure to read. ' Clare North, author of Ithaca.. 'I'm a liar, to begin with. '. I wasn't always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty - you'll have heard. It's 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 you're ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power. ) I couldn't live at someone's mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit's not a lie. I intended to win. Perfect for fans of Ferdia Lennon, Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint.
