    About this series

    Sisters. Mothers. Lovers. Warriors.

    In ancient Themiscyra, Hippolyte rules as Queen of the Amazons. Feared throughout Greece, their skills on the battlefield are unrivalled. But when a ship lands on their shores, it brings something more dangerous than the threat of war. It brings a future Hippolyte could never have dreamed of.

    Swept away to Athens, Hippolyte learns a love that transcends even the bond of the Amazon women. But can she forget her warrior past and forge a new life?

    With her sister gone, Penthesilea is left with no choice but to rise as the new Amazon Queen. Forgoing her sister's compassion and wisdom, Penthesilea rules with impulsiveness and ferocity that sparks terror throughout the Aegean.

    But when Hippolyte's world starts to crumble it is up to Penthesilea to decide how far she will go to defend their honor, family, and way of life.

    If you are a fan of epic tales, powerful female characters, and mythology retellings, you are going to love the latest book in Hannah Lynn's Grecian Women series.
