JENNIFER Saint’s fourth Greek mythology retelling titled Hera is set to hit the shelves on August 13.
The story follows the immortal goddess and daughter of the ancient Titan Cronos, who aims to help her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father so they could rule the world.
However, Hera begins to suspect Zeus is as ruthless and cruel as their father.
“Hera, famous for being a vindictive wife, for her spite and her bile and her fury, who I promise you is so much more than that. Hera, mother of monsters. Hera, a queen and a survivor. I think this is the proudest I’ve ever been of something I’ve written,” Jennifer said in an interview.
The author has had a lifelong fascination with Greek mythology, as she grew up reading it and was always drawn to the untold stories within the myths.
In 2021, her debut novel Ariadne was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year and as a finalist in the Goodreads Choice Awards in the fantasy category.
