“This is the book I didn't know I needed that has completely captured my heart. I love Greek Mythology inspired stories, and this is quite possibly one of the best I've read. The characters, monsters, and gods feel more realistic than in other mythology stories - they are in their natural environment, and their existence has more weight. Their actions bring terrible consequences, their relationships are more realistic, and their magic breathes to life a dark and beautiful story of sacrifice and resilience. This is an enchanting and empowering adventure story with non-stop action and danger at every turn. I, like Daphne, am torn between my love for the ever-faithful Lykou and the heart-throb Apollo. My heart and soul are stuck between the pages of this book, begging for more.”
— Anna Rose • The Well-Read Moose
In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl does whatever it takes to rise up and become the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen.
Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis—who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands—upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis's twin—the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollo—Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
A reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, Daughter of Sparta by debut author Claire Andrews turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering female-led adventure.
Claire Andrews was raised in both Alaska and Scotland, but currently lives in Vermont; when not writing, she can usually be found outside swimming, skiing or hiking across the state's famous green mountains. Daughter of Sparta is her debut novel.
