Publisher's Summary
The beguiling story of the Queen of Mount Olympus, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ATALANTA, ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.
From Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ATALANTA (UK, Sunday Times, April 2023), ELEKTRA (UK, Sunday Times, May 2022) and ARIADNE (UK, Sunday Times, April 2021), comes the captivating story of Greek mythology's most famous wife.
When the immortal goddess Hera helps her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father, the ancient Titan Cronos, she dreams of ruling the world at his side.
But as they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera begins to see another side to Zeus, a side just as ruthless and cruel as Cronos was.
She was clearly born to rule, but does that mean perpetuating a cycle of violence and cruelty that has existed since the dawn of time?
Will assuming her power mean that Hera loses herself or can she find a way to forge a better world?

Guess the God
I’ve always enjoyed Jennifer Saint’s work. I would’ve enjoyed it more if the narrator could pronounce the names of gods and Demi gods correctly. It took away from the overall story. How does one manage to mess up the name Ares? Give this a listen to find out. Would suggest the book over the audiobook so you can truly enjoy it.

Best one yet
We've all seen Hera portrayed as a jealous and vengeful queen, but in this retelling we hear a woman who's rights were taken from her, no choice but to marry her rapist, and take a role she would never have chosen for herself. A woman fighting for her equality and to be heard. A woman who was the divine embodiment and protector of marriage, but who's own husband was the most famously unfaithful of all.

Great story
Loved it - the narrator is very good but she mispronounces most of the names which is very frustrating but once you get past that it’s very well read.
