When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.
Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.
Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason’s band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

About Author
Jennifer
Saint grew up reading Greek mythology and was always drawn to the untold
stories hidden within the myths. After thirteen years as a high school
English teacher, she wrote ARIADNE which tells the legend of Theseus and the
Minotaur from the perspective of Ariadne - the woman who made it happen.
Ariadne was an instant Sunday Times bestseller, shortlisted for Waterstones
Book of the Year in 221 and was Waterstones Book of the month in January 222.
Her second novel, ELEKTRA, was a Number One Sunday Times bestseller and
explores the curse upon the House of Atreus, giving voice to three women who
are caught up in its shadows: Clytemnestra, Cassandra and Elektra whose lives
are shattered by the Trojan War and who seek to find justice at any cost. Her
third novel, Atalanta, tells the story of the only female Argonaut and is a
Number One Sunday Times bestseller. Jennifer Saint is now a full-time author,
living in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and two children.
