About this listen
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Ariadne, Elektra, and Atalanta, a propulsive, empowering retelling of Hera, reclaiming her as a feminist hero
Even the gods must have their queen.
When the immortal goddess Hera and her brother Zeus overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams of ruling at his side. But as they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera begins to see that Zeus is just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed. While Zeus ascends, Hera is relegated to the role of wife and mother, a role she never wanted. She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a better world?
In this enthralling retelling, Greek mythology’s most famous and maligned goddess finally tells her own story, as power, passion, and divine strength collide in the heart of Olympus.

A Goodreads Readers’ Most Anticipated Book for Summer
“In Hera, Saint recasts the goddess as a powerful, cunning deity in her own right, rather than just the petty, jealous wife of Zeus…Feels like a necessary and overdue corrective.”—The New York Times
“The gods of Olympus deliver Real Housewives-level drama in this juicy interpretation of Greek myth from bestseller Saint…As Hera strives to outmaneuver her self-obsessed, rage-filled husband, the unruly pantheon surrounding her engage in Machiavellian power plays, one-upmanship, and petty vendettas. Readers will savor the theatrics.”—Publishers Weekly
“Jennifer Saint has such a distinctive stamp on the genre of Greek mythological retellings—the narratives are captivating and choose interesting new takes on familiar stories. Saint turns her eye to the Queen of the Gods in this nuanced take on misdirected wrath and humanizing a complex, otherworldly figure…Hera is another marvel of a mythological retelling.”—The Nerd Daily

un récit mythologique sans passion
J'ai écouté ce livre en anglais dans le but d'améliorer mon anglais et je trouve que le vocabulaire et les phrases sont un peu toujours les mêmes. L'intrigue elle-même ne m'a pas passionnée. La lectrice a fait du beau travail.
