The Women of Artemis: A Novel

From an award-winning author comes an adventurous, bold story about history's most ferocious women: this is the rise of the Amazons. 

When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Five years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband. 

Until it's not. 

Rallying the abused women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers. 

But a community of women - an army of women - is bound to make enemies of gods and men alike. 

This is the story of Otrera and the first Amazons.
