Don#39;t miss the page-turning sequel, Blood of Troy! In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl becomes 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#39;s brother#39;s fate in her hands, upends the life she#39;s worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus. If#160;Daphne cannot find them, the gods#39; waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother#39;s life will be forfeit. Guided by Artemis#39;s twinmdash;the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollomdash;Daphne#39;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.
