Description

In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl becomes the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen. 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 Sparta. An unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis sets Daphne on a perilous journey to retrieve nine mysterious items stolen from Mount Olympus. With the gods' waning powers at stake, Daphne must team up with mythological legends and pit herself against the gods themselves to save her brother's life and restore balance to the mortal world. A female-led adventure that turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology on its head, Daughter of Sparta is a heart-pounding tale of courage, determination, and self-discovery.
