Rezensionen

'Hekate must be a work of stunning witchcraft, because I was spellbound from its very opening pages. Gill's lyrical prose is pure magic and brings the captivating, enigmatic Hekate to life so beautifully, exploring the life of a goddess fighting to find her place and power in the world' ROSIE HEWLETT, author of Medea

'A magical journey of survival and discovery through the Greek Underworld, from the mist-filled Asphodel meadows to the blessed Elysian fields and the deepest pits of Tartarus. Populated with unforgettable gods and titans and narrated in dream-like poetry, Hekate is a unique creation and the most original addition to the retelling genre I have read in a while. A powerful reflection on magic, power, family and the consequences of war. I absolutely loved it' COSTANZA CASATI, bestselling author of Clytemnestra

'A vivid and imaginatively wrought divine world that is monstrous, magical and beautiful. It's a timely and achingly resonant reflection on conflict, fear and the unbreakable bonds of family conveyed in exquisite, evocative poetry' JENNIFER SAINT, bestselling author of Hera and Ariadne

'In a wholly original, incandescent take on the myth of Hekate, Nikita Gill captures the beauty, brutality and otherworldly strangeness of the ancient world like no other writer... This poem is pure magic' ELODIE HARPER, bestselling author of The Wolf Den trilogy
