I loved working with this subject matter of a Greek legend, using deeply warm colours and some dynamic shapes! SO happy with the result .
A blazing novel set in the world of Ancient Greece for fans of Jennifer Saint and Natalie Haynes, this is a thrilling tale of power and prophecies, of hatred, love, and of an unforgettable Queen who fiercely dealt out death to those who wronged her.
The daughter of Leda and Tyndareus, Clytemnestra later becomes the commander of the Greek forces in the Trojan War.
When she is attacked by a lynx, the intense encounter leaves her injured, but she skillfully uses her bow and arrows to finally wound the lynx. The pain in the lynx’s eyes causes Clytemnestra to reflect on the nature of the gods, recalling her father’s dismissal of the divine and her mother’s belief that the secrets of the gods are hidden in nature.
