The Night-Born Sisters: A Greek Mythology Fantasy Novel
Before the Trojan War and before the ancient poets hailed her as Troy's last hope against Achilles, Penthesilea, Queen of the ha-mazaans, was already a legend. This is where her story begins.
An Epic Tale of Oaths and Consequences
As future Hearth Queen, Penny vowed to keep the Sacred Flame alight, to bear daughters for the Throne, and to do no harm. When she breaks her blood-sworn oath, she unleashes a curse that threatens to destroy everything and everyone she loves.
Pursued by Furies—agents of the Fates sent to punish oathbreakers—Penny must absolve herself before those she loves suffer the consequences. On her quest she gains allies and enemies, and uncovers secrets that make her question everything she has ever believed about her past and her future.
A Journey Through Ancient Greek Mythology
This historical fantasy novel weaves together Greek mythology, Amazon warrior culture, and the legendary events leading up to the Trojan War. Readers discover Penthesilea's origin story, exploring the world of the ha-mazaans and the Sacred Flame that binds them.
Once Penny discovers the truth, can she ever go back to what she was? Can she alter her thread in the tapestry the Fates are weaving, or has she sealed her destiny, and the day of her death, forever?
