Jennifer Saint

An exceptional achievement. Jennifer Saint immerses us into a vibrant, magical world, with a wonderfully compelling heroine

Jennifer Saint's Hera is THE essential mythological book of the decade

Hera is Jennifer Saint's best book yet, and every bit as fierce, powerful and captivating as Hera herself

With Saint's signature eloquent and lyrical prose, Hera is not only a shrewd depiction of a complex female character but an expansive dissemination of the patriarchal pantheon

Very special. With echoes of Miller's Circe, Hera is an epic novel with an unforgettable cast of characters

THIS IS THE OLDEST LOVE STORY OF ALL TIME . . . 
 
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Mistaken to be all beauty, no brains, she is in fact the most dangerous of all, driven by passion regardless of the consequences. 
 
While on the surface, Ares, God of War, is her opposite –disliked by everyone and devoted to stirring up conflict – the two are more alike than they realise, each causing havoc for gods and mortals as they rule their primal realms. 
 
These gods are no more immune to the dizzying highs and lows of love and loss than anyone else and before long, they are irresistibly drawn to one another. But there’s only so much room for fire and passion in Zeus’ kingdom, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes.
