Publisher Description

In this modern-day "lively re-imagining of classical mythology" (Deborah Harkness), when a string of women are murdered in an ancient pagan ritual, Selene DiSilvia -- known by some as the goddess Artemis -- hears their cries for help and takes up her bow once more.

Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.

The city sleeps. In the predawn calm, Selene DiSilva finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns, along with the memory of a promise she made long ago -- when her name was Artemis.

Jordanna Max Brodsky's acclaimed debut sets Greek Gods against a modern Manhattan backdrop, creating an unputdownable blend of myth and mystery.

“Jordanna Brodsky is obviously as comfortable narrating as she is writing. She infuses Selene with attitude and strength…Robert Petkoff…gives voice to the classics professor who is certain he holds the key to the ritualistic murder that has takes place and can help to prevent more murders. Both narrators maintain the energy and intensity of their narrations throughout.”
