APHRODITE (FOX AND INK) (PB)

A glittering and powerful new fictional retelling suitable for 14 years upwards from Bryony Pearce, a multi-award-winning novelist working in both the YA and Adult markets. Naked and salt-soaked, Aphrodite is born from the waves. Knowing nothing of who or what she is, she quickly discovers that she has incredible power and the kind of beauty that makes men mad. Her blood pulses with the same call: home, home, home. But Olympus turns out to be a seething snake-pit, and love is never simple. Threatened and spiteful gods and goddesses seek different ways to control her. She learns that it is a curse to be seen as nothing but beautiful - but it may also be her strongest weapon.
