A D Rhine recommends
Mother of Rome (2025)
Lauren J A Bear
"Mother of Rome is a work of pure page turning brilliance that cements Lauren J. A. Bear's position at the top of the class. Bear goes right for the jugular with this innovative and evocative take on Rome's foundational myth. By centering Rhea Silvia, the wronged and oft overlooked mother of Romulus and Remus, Bear shines a bright spotlight on female agency and the transformative power of a mother's love. Rhea and Antho are the kind of heroines the world desperately needs. Gorgeously written and compulsively readable with an ending that will steal your breath, Mother of Rome is a rare gem and an instant favorite."
Eleanore of Avignon (2024)
Elizabeth DeLozier
"Medieval Avignon comes to vivid life in this transportive debut about one brave young woman's quest to save her home from the horrors of the Black Death. Against this gritty, realistic backdrop, the incredible courage and stubborn love of the novel's fierce heroine shines with brilliant light. Beautiful and poignant, Eleanore of Avignon reads like a love song to the healers who have always walked among us."
Daughters of Olympus (2024)
Hannah Lynn
"With vibrant prose and decadent world building, Daughters of Olympus is a magical feast for the senses. This stirring retelling peels back the layers of myth surrounding Demeter and Persephone to touch upon their most human core. It is a stunning testament to the destructive and healing power of love to move the very earth."
