The Daughter Of Artemis

"This is the way to execute a man. Listen up. Do not shut your eyes as you shoot-the man may move. Do not look into his eyes. He may attempt to seduce you. Do not give him time to speak. Do not shout a warning. Be swift. Go into the chamber. Kill the man. Drag his body to the incineration chute. And then leave with a smile. I've been there, Berlin Qualye. I know that if my advice were followed then no executioner would ever lose either her life, her maidenhood, or her mind." In a world laid waste by biological war, can one close family really change the course of history? And can one disturbed woman mastermind a plan that will turn utopia upside down?

Grace learns all of these things the hard way on her quest with her best friend Emma, and some others they find along the way. Battles, secrets, friends, enemies, it all blurs together in Grace’s trip to find the one person that may be able to help her--the Trainer!

In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl becomes the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen. Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis—who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands—upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit. Guided by Artemis's twin—the handsome and entirely-too-self-assured god Apollo—Daphne's journey will take her from the labyrinth of the Minotaur to the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes, team her up with mythological legends such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and pit her against the gods themselves. A reinterpretation of the classic Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, Daughter of Sparta by debut author Claire Andrews turns the traditionally male-dominated mythology we know into a heart-pounding and empowering female-led adventure.
