She's been called a murderer, a monster, a villain. But the truth was never hers to tell—until now.

Born a Spartan princess. Married to a tyrant. Forced to watch her child sacrificed to appease the gods. In a world where women are used, silenced, and discarded, Clytemnestra does not mourn—she waits. And when her moment comes, she rises not as a consort, but as a force of reckoning.

This stunning debut offers a radical reimagining of a woman long cast as villain. With immersive, poetic prose and a vividly rendered ancient world, Clytemnestra delivers a fierce, emotionally charged portrait of a heroine who reclaims her story from myth, fate, and the men who tried to write it for her.

For anyone who's ever been told to sit still, stay silent, or play nice—this is the story of what happens when a woman says no.

Praise for Clytemnestra:

"Fans of Circe and Elektra should pick up this powerful Greek myth retelling." —Cosmopolitan

"Crackles with vivid fury, passion, and strength." —Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Elektra and Ariadne
