    About the book: 2023 / Meet the cult retelling - the story of the life and revenge of Clytemnestra! Who was Clytemnestra? Sister of Helen of Troy. The unfaithful wife and murderer of the great king Agamemnon. A mother who lost her daughter and was killed by her own son. But this is not her whole story. The Spartan princess was married against her will to a man whom she hated. After many losses and suffering, she did not believe in a glorious death, because after it only history remains. Only words whispered from someone else's lips. When her husband returns from the Trojan War as a winner, she is faced with a choice - to accept fate or take revenge. A warrior by nature, she refuses to rely on the mercy of the gods and enters the game of retribution. "Clytemnestra" is a fascinating story about power and prophecies, about hatred, love and about a queen who mercilessly killed those who did her harm.
