by Nikita Gill (Author)
This #1 New York Times bestselling novel-in-verse from world-renowned poet Nikita Gill is a richly imagined retelling of the Greek myth of Hekate, a goddess of the underworld. Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and Alexandra Bracken.
This is an ancient story written long before us. It is a tale full of Gods and monsters, divine wars and ghosts, and the tangled mess made by the divine and the mortal. This is a ode to mothers and daughters, the sacred and the courageous, and the grief that grows in the absence of love. It is a song of joy and friendship that is homegrown and pieced together by careful, gentle fingers. At the heart of this story is a girl looking for answers. At the soul of this story is the divine Goddess within us all. In this stunningly intimate reimagining of a Greek myth, internationally renowned poet Nikita Gill showcases the underworld and its chthonic deities in all their glory, and weaves a gripping story about the young Goddess Hekate coming of age within their midst.Author Biography
