Publisher's Summary
The heroic story of the only female Argonaut, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.
When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.
Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.
Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

Triumphant
Impeccable narration. Witty storyline. I truly enjoyed every moment of it. Who know a woman had bested the male crew of the Argo?

Well done
A god fictionalisation of the myths - there is more to the myths of Atlanta - I wish she had focused on the less popular ones

Atalanta
Atalanta has always been a captivating figure in mythology for me and Jennifer has wonderfully woven together her stories. Beautifully narrated by Beth Eyre

Vivid & enchanting
Enchanting retelling of one of my favourite Greek myths, with just the right level of embellishment. Perfectly narrated too. Very much enjoyed this!

I really loved the calm and smooth voice. Very easy to listen to and get lost in another world.

I liked it
I had never heard of Atlanta before and was interested to hear about her story, she was a great protagonist and the interaction with other mythical legends made for a rich story
