from Bea Fitzgerald, growing TikTok superstar and Sunday Times bestselling
author of GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN.Love caused this war. At least, that's what the
stories will say. When Cassandra's patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of
prophecy - and all the power that comes with it - she seizes the opportunity.
But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, she discovers just how
very far she has to fall. No one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of
one girl - and she's going to start a war. Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of
love - though that's proving more elusive than she'd hoped. Far from home,
Helen's navigating all the politics and backstabbing of the Trojan court. And
one princess seems particularly intent on driving her from the city. . . But
when war finally strikes, it's more than the army at their walls they must
contend with. Cassandra and Helen might hold the key to reweaving fate itself
- especially with the prophetic strands drawing them ever closer together. But
how do you change your future when the gods themselves are dictating your
demise?PRAISE FOR GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN'A refreshing romp through Greek

To hell with love, this goddess has other plans... Thousands of years ago, the gods told a lie- how Persephone was a pawn in the politics of other gods. How Hades kidnapped Persephone to be his bride. How her mother, Demeter, was so distraught she caused the Earth to start dying. The real story is much more interesting. Persephone wasn't taken to hell- she jumped. There was no way she was going to be married off to some smug god more in love with himself than her. Now all she has to do is convince the Underworld's annoyingly sexy, arrogant and frankly rude ruler, Hades, to fall in line with her plan. A plan that will shake Mount Olympus to its very core. But consequences can be deadly, especially when you're already in hell . . .
