From actor and writer Felicia Day, a sapphic graphic novel about the forgotten sister of Helen of Troy, for fans of Lore Olympus and Girl Goddess Queen.​

‘A beautiful, expansive take on the story of Philonoe.’ – Natalie Haynes, bestselling author of Pandora's Jar and Stone Blind

Helen. Clytemnestra. Timandra. Three famous sisters and one shared curse – that each will betray their husband.​

As the youngest sister, Philonoe is desperate not to follow in their footsteps. After pleading with the gods, Philonoe is sent on a quest by Aphrodite, to retrieve three impossible objects. She's expecting battle, but instead encounters women who have already lost everything to the gods. Every step of the way she’s accompanied by Artemis, who doesn’t understand exactly why she’s so drawn to Philonoe’s quest. Will Philonoe become a victim of her own fate, or does she have the power to change it?

'A beautifully illustrated and timely story about the importance of having compassion for others as well as oneself.'  – Rachel Smythe, bestselling author of Lore Olympus
