FROM THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR ARIADNE AND HERA
Discover the spellbinding new Greek myth retelling, an epic love story between the Goddess of Love and God of War - perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Natalie Haynes and The Odyessey.
'Jennifer Saint's best novel yet. A luscious retelling of Aphrodite that held me tight by the heartstrings' SAARA EL-ARIFI, bestselling author of Cursebound
'Beautiful, propulsive prose. This is a triumph' EMILIA HART, bestselling author of Sirens
'Deeply moving and thought provoking. Pure escapism of the most enjoyable kind' ELODIE HARPER, bestselling author of Boudicca's Daughter
This is the oldest love story of all time . . .
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.
Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.
And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes . . .

Jennifer Saint humanizing Greek mythology again
I try to read once retelling of Greek mythology a month, and there is just nobody whose œuvre can hold a candle to Jennifer Saint's. Sure, "This Immortal Heart" is no "Hera", but that was singlehandedly the greatest book in that genre I have come across thus far. "This Immortal Heart" focuses on Aphrodite and her love story with Ares. It is kinder than her previous novels, but what I always love about Saint is how she allows herself to find her own touches within the confines of the well-known stories. Among the Olympians, Aphrodite's closest confidante is Demeter, a connection I would never have thought of, but it makes sense, seeing that they are both nurturing goddesses of sorts. And while the focus is on Aphrodite and Ares (not as much as it could though), I also really enjoy where Saint takes the mandatory connection between Aphrodite and Hephaestus. Aphrodite was never a central deity for me, but when I found out that she was the focus of Saint's current book, I knew that I would appreciate her much more afterwards, and indeed, yes!
