She's a queen, a witch, and a murderer. But she'll do anything to protect her children...

From an award-winning author comes a story of feminist revenge, perfect for readers of Madeleine Miller and Natalie Haynes.

All murders must be avenged.

While the rest of Greece mourns for the war that has taken their husbands away, Clytemnestra fears the day it will bring Agamemnon back. When her husband willingly sacrifices their eldest daughter to appease the gods, Clytemnestra vows to do whatever it takes to protect her remaining children.

But history turns strong women into monsters, and in saving her family, she risks losing them altogether and becoming the most hated woman in Greece...
