In her stead, Penthesilea leads the Amazons with a ferocity that spreads terror across the Aegean.</p><p>But not all men of myth are heroes, and, back in Athens, Hippolyte finds herself trapped in her new life. She's a queen without her people, a warrior without her army, and a mother separated from her family. But she remains an Amazon, and she's ready to fight. And across the sea, Penthesilea is ready to do the same...</p><p><strong>Perfect for readers of Madeleine Miller and Claire Heywood, this mythic retelling is a rich, thrilling story of war and peace, love and betrayal, and, most of all, sisterhood.</strong></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Hannah Lynn<br><b>Publisher:</b> Sourcebooks Landmark<br><b>Published:</b> 05/07/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>We
