Description

You've heard the legends, now hear their truth . . .

Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates - three sisters born out of Nyx's darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity.

But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warrior Atalanta and her ill-fated lover, Meleager.

However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn't make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies Or will they be bound by Fate forever

Reviews

'Lyrical, imaginative, visceral, urgent, moving, adventurous. Rose Blyth brings The Fates startlingly back to life. This is how the ancient Greeks would have known The Fates - and their own fates. * Sean Lusk *
