About this item
The Heir of Venus offers a feminist retelling of Greek and Roman mythology, reimagining the tale of Aeneas through the eyes of those once relegated to the fringes of his story.
To the world, Aeneas is a legendary hero, celebrated for his bravery and vision of a new empire. To Lavinia, he is a schemer and a liar. Lavinia, promised to Aeneas by her father, finds herself caught in a war sparked by her childhood sweetheart’s jealousy. The conflict threatens everything she holds dear, as her life becomes a pawn in a power struggle she never sought.
Aeneas, celebrated as the son of Venus, is shrouded in mystery. Despite his storied reputation, he remains evasive about his past, which raises Lavinia’s suspicions. When a stranger arrives with startling revelations about Aeneas’s true nature, Lavinia is faced with a crucial decision. She must uncover the truth about the man she is to marry and reclaim her future.
Set against the backdrop of Greek mythology, The Heir of Venus combines striking prose with a compelling narrative that challenges traditional myths. It presents an impactful and relatable story of a woman who refuses to be a passive player in her own destiny. As Lavinia fights for the truth, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, redefining her place in a world dominated by legends and lies.
