The heroic story of the only female Argonaut, told by Jennifer Saint, the bestselling author of ELEKTRA and ARIADNE.

When a daughter is born to the King of Arcadia, she brings only disappointment.

Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless infant Atalanta, is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and raised alongside the cubs under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis.

Swearing that she will prove her worth alongside the famed heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band of Argonauts. But can she carve out her own place in the legends in a world made for men?

Eleştirmen yorumları

A stunning retelling filled with breathtaking adventure, Atalanta brings to life a heroine who stands tall among the ancient gods and heroes of legend. (Sue Lynn Tan, Sunday Times bestselling author of DAUGHTER OF THE MOON GODDESS)
Jennifer Saint deftly draws the reader into the legends of Atalanta, swift huntress and favorite of Artemis, bringing the world of ancient Greece alive. The detail and description is lush: you can hear the rustle of the green leaves and taste the salty spray of the sea as the Argo rides forth on its quest. A story of adventure and love against all odds, this is an ancient tale limned with gold. (Luna McNamara, author of PSYCHE AND EROS)
Absolutely beautiful. This is a retelling that fully inhabits the magical realm of myth while losing none of its human heart. The way Jennifer Saint dealt with the ending was absolutely inspired - staying true to the mythology yet giving it an emotional twist that felt completely true to the heroine she had created. Atalanta is a lyrical, exciting and deeply poignant tale of one woman's remarkable life - and I cannot wait to read it again. (Elodie Harper, author of THE WOLF DEN and THE HOUSE WITH THE GOLDEN DOOR)
Through the eyes of a strong and unbending heroine, Atalanta weaves together some of the most exciting myths: the Argonauts' quest, Hypsipyle and the women of Lemnos, Hippomenes's footrace. Beautifully written and crafted with magic, this is an unforgettable retelling. (Costanza Casati, author of CLYTEMNESTRA)
Atalanta is an absolute joy of a novel. As always Saint brings Ancient Greece to life with deft story-telling and lyrical imagery, but with her third outing we are drawn into a truly empowering story - a novel of strength and resilience, love and friendship, skillfully enthused with the addictive magic of timeless myth. A beautifully written retelling. (Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of PANDORA)

I knew nothing of the story of Atalanta before reading this - TBH all I knew about Jason and the Argonauts was from that old Harryhausen film ;-) I really enjoyed this reading. I particularly enjoyed the ending.

I downloaded my first Jennifer Saint book two weeks ago (Ariadne) and have since listened to Elektra and Atalanta. Loved them all, I’ve bought a ticket to see the Author in January 2024 at a library!
Wonderful, wonderful books!

Can’t wait for the next one!

Loved it!

Nice take on a lesser-known hero. Great narration brings the characters to life. Good philosophical touches without being too heavy.

A balanced narrative with fresh detail

An excellent story performed very well. Atalanta is somehow even more thrilling than Saint's other great titles Ariadne and Electra.

Saint's best book yet
