'A strong and appealing piece of work, beautifully written and with gripping themes of power, freedom and vengeance that are expertly handled.' N Mostyn.

Athenian princesses, Prokne and Philomela, have very different outlooks on their fates. Older sister Prokne, betrothed to Thracian King Tereus, looks forward to marriage and queendom. Philomela sees only captivity and brutality in the lives of even royal women.

While Tereus takes Prokne away to a life of the very cruelty and violence her sister predicted, Philomela discovers she has the power of the Nereid song, by which she can control men. When she sees an opportunity to save her sister, Philomela seizes it, but Tereus is a son of Ares, and he has tricks of his own.

How far can Philomela’s power take her, and will she and Prokne ever find a way to seek revenge?

A peaceful nymph falls in love with a powerful mortal girl, but as her lust for glory grows, can their love survive?

Camilla is an exiled princess, blessed with power from the goddess Diana. Acca is a nymph who has fled the world of men and marriage. Thrown together by Diana, their love is passionate and their woodland lives are magical. Yet Camilla dreams of becoming a hero as great as Achilles and war threatens peaceful Italy.

Does she love glory more than she loves Acca? And will glory come at a terrible price?
