The House of Atreus: Clytemnestra’s Bind
A fiery first instalment in an epic three-part Greek mythology series.
Perfect for fans of CIRCE and THE SONG OF ACHILLES
The House of Atreus is spiralling into self-destruction —a woman must find a way to break the family curse…
Queen Clytemnestra’s world shatters when Agamemnon, a rival to the throne of Mycenae, storms her palace, destroys her family, and claims not only the throne but Clytemnestra herself. Tormented by her loss, she vows to do all she can to protect the children born from her unhappy marriage to Agamemnon. But when her husband casts his ruthless gaze towards the wealthy citadel of Troy, his ambitions threaten to destroy the family Clytemnestra loves once more.
From one of Greek mythology’s most reviled characters —a woman who challenged the absolute power of men —comes this fiery tale of power, family rivalry and a mother’s burning love.
