Beskrivning

An “inventive [and] epic” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) novel of the ancient world that breathes life into the grand myth of the ferocious female warrior culture of the Amazons, from the bestselling author of Gates of Fire

“Thoroughly gripping [with] the best battle scenes I’ve ever read.”—Diana Gabaldon

In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, king of Athens, set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called Amazons. The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of “civilization.” So when the great war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage.

In the eternal clash between freedom and civilization, love and loyalty, man and woman, lies a masterful tale of war and revenge with the power to enchant, seduce, and inspire.
