Clytemnestra

A vivid novel set in the world of Ancient Greece, it is a gripping story about power and prophecy, about hatred, love, and an unforgettable queen who ruthlessly punished those who wronged her. Clytemnestra was born into a royal family, but married a tyrant. She watched helplessly as he sacrificed their child to appease the gods. She watched as he waged war abroad, and consoled herself with cruel thoughts. This was not the life she deserved. So Clytemnestra waited for the right moment and forced the gods to intervene. For she had long understood what others had never understood: if power is not given to you, you must take it yourself.
