Andromeda

A powerful, electric reclaiming of the most famed, white-washed woman in Greek mythology. 'A thoughtful, poetic and compelling novel that quietly stole my heart' Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne 'Lyrically magnificent, romantically elegant and poetically divine... a tender yet fierce reclamation of myth crafted by a masterful hand' Bea Fitzgerald, Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen 'Utterly unforgettable... McLeod weaves a tale both heartbreakingly romantic and heartbreakingly beautiful' Natasha Siegel, author of As Many Souls as Stars _________ A myth rewritten. A name reclaimed. Blessed by the gods with unparalleled beauty, Andromeda lives a life of ease within her Aethiopian palace walls. Content with her sanctuary, the young princess has no concerns other than the royal expectations her parents have for her – until a single, fateful proclamation changes everything. When the queen defies the gods with a blasphemous claim, Poseidon, fearsome God of the Seas, delivers a deadly ultimatum that puts the queen’s life in Andromeda’s hands. 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. One of the most emotional, intimate and romantic stories I've read' 'The kind of retelling that respects the original myth but isn't afraid to question it'
