Raised by her father as a male, unbeatable in running and hunting, Atalanta learned early on to hold her own against anyone. But a prophecy has already opened a window into her destiny: marriage would mean death. Protected by the goddess Artemis, she lives free in the woods of Mount Parthenius, convinced that this vision of the future does not concern her. Until a monster and a host of heroes burst into her forest, forcing her to choose between what others have decided for her and what she wishes to become. Teodora Manes (Sing My Name. The Prophecy of Atalanta, Il Castoro) rewrites the myth of ancient Greece's wildest huntress in a fantasy novel about the freedom to write your own destiny.
