The Women of Artemis
From the award-winning author of Queens of Themiscyra and Daughters of Olympus comes the never-before-told story of history’s most ferocious heroines: this is the rise of the Amazons.
***
Mothers. Daughters. Warriors. Women.
When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband.
Until it's not.
Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers.
But a community of women – an army of women – is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike.
This is the story of Otrera and the first Amazons.
From award-winning and critically acclaimed author Hannah Lynn comes a gripping tale about women who fight back, inspired by Greek mythology and perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Elodie Harper.
