From the award-winning author of Herc, an enrapturing feminist tale that brilliantly reimagines the story of Aphrodite and how she transformed herself from a lowly outsider to the darling goddess of love, for readers of Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint.

Aphrodite saw the gods on Mount Olympus and decided she wanted a piece of what they had. Only problem is, she’s not a goddess, just a lowly being who's supposed to remain in a distant cave, keeping the threads of Fate woven neatly. But Aphrodite’s never let anyone tell her what to do…

Weaving herself a web of lies and careful deceptions, she convinces everyone she’s the goddess of love and that her rightful place is among the Olympians, who lord it over everyone else at the top of the world, but under the stifling rule of Zeus. For the first time, she has the best of everything, as well as friends, peers, even loved ones. Only, being a goddess isn’t quite like she thought. Those who oppose Zeus tend to disappear, or worse. And one day, Aphrodite decides she’s had enough…

"Rogerson's impressive talent leaps from the pages." —Carly Reagon, author of The Toll House, on Herc

I’m already on my second reading of this book. Absolutely adore it - such creative story telling, it has you enthralled immediately! This reimagining of Aphrodite’s lore is beautiful, unique, exciting, sexy, funny, and endearing. All the introductions and viewpoints of the other Gods/Goddesses/Titans adds so much dimension and excitement to the story, and you really fall in love with all of them in different ways…Especially our Aphrodite. 1000/10 Cannot recommend this one enough!

A new favorite!

This was a fantastic story performed by wonderful voice actors/readers. Because the story is not read, it is absolutely performed. As you were listening, you feel that you are all the way into the multifaceted depths of Aphrodite and the other characters minds. I adore the retelling and the reasoning of how and why myths that we have now may have happened. Absolutely I would recommend this book.

*Maybe spoiler?*

I especially love the idea that some of the things that Aphrodite did were literally just to be able to bring stories to Prometheus. When you think of some of the stories that she has, that just absolutely tickles me.

Depth of characters.
