From the award-winning author of Herc, an enrapturing feminist tale that brilliantly reimagines the story of Aphrodite and how she transformed herself from a lowly outsider to the darling goddess of love, for readers of Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint.Aphrodite saw the gods on Mount Olympus and decided she wanted a piece of what they had. Only problem is, shes not a goddess, just a lowly being who's supposed to remain in a distant cave, keeping the threads of Fate woven neatly. But Aphrodites never let anyone tell her what to doWeaving herself a web of lies and careful deceptions, she convinces everyone shes the goddess of love and that her rightful place is among the Olympians, who lord it over everyone else at the top of the world, but under the stifling rule of Zeus. For the first time, she has the best of everything, as well as friends, peers, even loved ones. Only, being a goddess isnt quite like she thought. Those who oppose Zeus tend to disappear, or worse. And one day, Aphrodite decides shes had enough"Rogerson's impressive talent leaps from the pages." -Carly Reagon, author of The Toll House,on Herc
