Andromeda

'A thoughtful, poetic and compelling novel that quietly stole my heart' Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne'This is a hymn to women - women dismissed as monsters and damsels, who hunger for more than what the world has offered.

A name reclaimed.Blessed by the gods with unparalleled beauty, Andromeda lives a life of ease within her Aethiopian palace walls.

Poseidon sends his loyal servant, the shape-shifting Ceto, to seal the princess’s fate.But Ceto is not just a servant. With a sharp tongue and hardened heart, she has little interest in the princess’s appearance – and even less in the games of gods. Yet an undeniable tension begins to bloom between them, and both quickly realise Andromeda’s beauty is not only a gift, but a weapon to wield. As Poseidon’s judgement draws ever closer, the two women find themselves pulled into something far more passionate – and dangerous – than either could have predicted..._________Readers love ANDROMEDA:'Intimate, fierce, and quietly powerful''Will stick with me for a long time''By the end, I was emotionally wrung out, but in the best way''Brilliant.
