A lush, haunting reimagining of the myth of Iphigenia and Artemis, sure to enchant readers of Katee Robert and Rebecca Kinney.

When a goddess falls for her sacrifice, can their love survive?
Iphigenia Pelops lives only to serve her family. As the eldest child, it is her responsibility and privilege—as well as the only safeguard against the family curse. So when Artemis, Queen of the Court of the Wild, demands a sacrifice from the Pelops in exchange for her blessing in a dangerous power struggle, Iphigenia is the natural choice.
However, Artemis is horrified when she learns that Iphigenia’s family offered Iphigenia without her consent. As recompense, she takes Iphigenia as her disciple and teaches her the ways of the hunt—and soon, the ways of the body, as feelings blossom between them.
Only Iphigenia cannot forget her precious siblings, doomed to misfortune by the Pelops curse—and freeing them will require a terrible cost.

K Arsenault Rivera was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and has been living in New York since the age of three. At a compact four foot nine, K is a concentrated dose of geekery. She’s incredibly passionate about her interests, some of which include Greek myths.

Seanan McGuire is the author of the Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award–winning Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, the InCryptid series, and other works. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. Seanan lives in Seattle with her cats, a vast collection of creepy dolls, horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She won the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and in 2013 became the first person to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot. In 2022 she managed the same feat, again!
