Psique y Eros

A prophecy ensures that Psyche, princess of Mycenae, will defeat a monster feared by the gods. Loved by her family, but far from fitting into society's expectations for women, Psyche trains to become a hero by mastering the sword and bow. When she angers Aphrodite, goddess of love, Psyche forces Eros, god of desire, to help her perpetrate a cruel curse. Eros is the youngest of the older gods, wry and jaded, unsure of his place in the cosmos; The last thing he wants is to be drawn into the chaos of the mortal world. But as soon as he pricks himself with the arrow destined for Psyche, Eros is condemned to desire a woman from whom he will be separated if his eyes meet. A subversive tale of gods, monsters, and the human heart and soul, Psyche and Eros dazzles the senses while exploring themes of trust, sacrifice, and what it truly means to be a hero. With unforgettable characters, captivating prose, and exciting tension, Luna McNamara has built a brilliant debut novel about a love so deep that it defies the will of Olympus.
