Seventeen-year-old Daphne has dedicated her entire life to perfecting her body and mind, aspiring to be accepted by the unforgiving people of ancient Sparta. However, an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis, who holds the fate of Daphne's brother in her hands, completely disrupts the life she has worked tirelessly to establish. Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus, and if Daphne cannot recover them, the gods' diminishing powers will fade away, leading to the collapse of the mortal world and the sacrifice of her brother's life.

Guided by Artemis's twin, the handsome and utterly self-assured god Apollo, Daphne embarks on a perilous journey that takes her through the labyrinth of the Minotaur and the riddle-spinning Sphinx of Thebes. Along the way, she forms alliances with legendary figures such as Theseus and Hippolyta of the Amazons, and faces off against the gods themselves.

Daughter of Sparta, a reimagining of the classic Greek myth by debut author Claire Andrews, challenges the traditionally male-dominated mythology we are familiar with by presenting a thrilling and empowering female-led adventure.
