Psyche and Eros

Book • 2023
In this novel, Psyche, a princess of Mycenae, is prophesied to defeat a monster feared by the gods.

She spends her youth mastering blade and bow to prepare for her destiny.

When Psyche angers Aphrodite, the goddess sends Eros, the god of desire, to deliver a cruel curse.

However, Eros accidentally pricks himself with the arrow meant for Psyche, dooming himself to yearn for her.

The story follows their complex and fraught relationship as they face challenges, including the looming Trojan War, and must determine if their love can defy the will of Olympus.

The book is a joyous and subversive tale that explores notions of trust, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be a hero.
