The Epic Journey of a Forgotten Amazon Warrior Who Challenged the Gods
She was mocked for her beauty. Belittled for her size. Forgotten in the shadow of her sisters. Until she became legend.
In a brutal Greek world ruled by men and gods, Penthesilea is born into the fierce Amazon tribe but struggles to prove herself. Labeled soft and unworthy, she harbors a secret: her father is Ares, the god of war. Fueled by pain and pride, she trains relentlessly—rising to claim her place among warriors.
When tragedy shatters her world and war comes for her sisters, Penthesilea sets off on a journey that will test her strength, her loyalty, and her soul. From the Amazon lands to the gates of Troy, she battles loss, guilt, and the gods themselves.
Her final fight against the unstoppable Achilles will not just define her fate—it will carve her name into legend.
