'A brilliant read' Women & Home | 'A spirited retelling' Times
| 'Beautiful and absorbing' Fabulous | 'A vivid reimagining of
Greek mythology' Harper's Bazaar | 'Jennifer Saint has done an
incredible job' Red The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline
tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is
the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this
curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods. Clytemnestra The
sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon - her hopes of averting the
curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless
Paris. Her husband raises a great army against them and determines
to win, whatever the cost. Cassandra Princess of Troy, and cursed
by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she
speaks of it. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will
fall. Elektra The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon,
Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. But can she
escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?
Praise for Jennifer Saint and ARIADNE: 'A lyrical, insightful
re-telling' Daily Mail 'Relevant and revelatory' Stylist 'Energetic
and compelling' Times 'An illuminating read' Woman & Home 'A
story that's impossible to forget' Culturefly
