Sparta forged her into a deadly weapon. Now the Gods need her to save the world!
Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis—who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands—upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit.
Guided by Artemis's twin-the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god
Apollo-Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the
riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as
Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves.
A reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, Daughter
of Sparta by debut author Claire Andrews turns the traditionally
male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering
female-led adventure.
Praise for DAUGHTER OF SPARTA:
"A fresh, original spin on classic Greek mythology. Andrews is a debut to
watch; Daughter of Sparta is an action-packed adventure
with phenomenal writing and empowering female characters that are sure to pack
a punch. I was absolutely enamored by this book!"—Adalyn Grace, New
York Times bestselling author of the All the Stars and Teeth series
"Daughter of Sparta deftly weaves classic Greek myth
into a spellbinding adventure led by a fierce and complex heroine. An utterly
transportive and breathtaking debut."—Katy Rose Pool, author of
There Will Come a Darkness
"Claire Andrews' Daughter of Sparta is an epic
story about female empowerment, packed with romance, adventure and mystery.
This fast-paced and well-researched novel was truly difficult to put
down!"—June Hur, author of The Forest of Stolen Girls
"Nonstop action, drama, and an unforgettable female warrior will
keep readers turning pages.... Awe-inspiring."—SLJ
"A strong female-led adventure story with an underlying
romance."—SLC
"Daphne, a Mothakes (stranger) to the people of Sparta, is a
well-trained fighter determined to prove to King Menelaus and Queen Helen that
she is as good or better than any other.... The Daphne of myth was a naiad
stalked by an ensorcelled Apollo, who transformed into a tree to escape
him. This twist on the narrative is great for readers aging out of Rick
Riordan’s books."—Booklist
