A D Rhine recommends
Aphrodite in Pieces (2026)
Lauren J A Bear
"Aphrodite in Pieces is a work of art. Bear's writing has never been more majestic; Aphrodite has never felt more human. Told in her own words, Aprhodites's tale speaks to every woman who has chiseled through layers of labels and expectations to get to the truth of herself. Heartbreaking and hopeful. Timeless and poignant. A love story worthy of the goddess of love."
Eleanore of Avignon (2024)
Elizabeth DeLozier
"Medieval Avignon comes to vivid life in this transportive debut about one brave young woman's quest to save her home from the horrors of the Black Death. Against this gritty, realistic backdrop, the incredible courage and stubborn love of the novel's fierce heroine shines with brilliant light. Beautiful and poignant, Eleanore of Avignon reads like a love song to the healers who have always walked among us."
Daughters of Olympus (2024)
Hannah Lynn
"With vibrant prose and decadent world building, Daughters of Olympus is a magical feast for the senses. This stirring retelling peels back the layers of myth surrounding Demeter and Persephone to touch upon their most human core. It is a stunning testament to the destructive and healing power of love to move the very earth."
