Instead, she finds solace and sisterhood in her cousin, Asteria. Together, they train in the arts of creation and magic. And as they seek to learn their divine purpose and their place within the Titanomachy, they discover both the joy sparked by true love and the fierce resilience birthed from motherhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this lyrical and heartrending tale of sisterhood, identity, love, and war, Styx must carve her own path to womanhood - and ultimately, godhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReview: 'Styx is that rare sequel which not only stands as a wonderful book in its own right but also deepens and enriches your experience of the book which went before... One of the things I loved best was the unapologetic and comprehensive focus on the female experience hidden in plain view in these ancient stories. We have Styx and Asteria's childhood friendship as a bond that rivals their eventual marriages, we have mothers, sisters, grandmothers and all the complexities, love and rivalry of those relationships. The book is in many ways a love story revolving around a female friendship. It absolutely broke my heart. It also contains a devastating warning - if as a woman you serve the Patriarchy, it will devour you... Absolutely cannot wait to see how Nikita concludes her extraordinary trilogy!'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gill, Nikita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54713022316728,"sku":"9781472642240","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781472642240.jpg?v=1794325040","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781472642240","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
