Synopsis
A spellbinding reimagining of the story of Elektra, one of Greek mythology’s most infamous heroines, from Jennifer Saint, the author of the beloved international bestseller, Ariadne.
Three women, tangled in an ancient curse. When Clytemnestra marries Agamemnon, she ignores the insidious whispers about his family line, the House of Atreus. But when, on the eve of the Trojan War, Agamemnon betrays Clytemnestra in the most unimaginable way, she must confront the curse that has long ravaged their family.
In Troy, Princess Cassandra has the gift of prophecy, but carries a curse of her own: no one will ever believe what she sees. When she is shown what will happen to her beloved city when Agamemnon and his army arrives, she is powerless to stop the tragedy from unfolding.
Elektra, Clytemnestra and Agamemnon’s youngest daughter, wants only for her beloved father to return home from war. But can she escape her family’s bloody history, or is her destiny bound by violence, too?.

A powerful glimpse of ancient Greece. If you were ever confused after learning about these characters and their stories in school, you won’t be once Elektra speeds up and dives into the action. Washington Post
Fascinante. En Electra, Saint dota de voz y humanidad a mujeres que han sido relegadas a papeles inferiores en historias que creemos conocer. Un tapiz brillante. Con una voz fresca y una percepción entusiasta, Saint hace que un mito antiguo cobre vida e introduce al lector en un mundo inquieto de toda la vida. Magistral. La autora insufla una vida nueva a las mujeres olvidadas de la mitología griega con una novela que es increíblemente absorbente y llena de pasión.
