A Beautiful Evil (eBook, ePUB)

A bestselling grumpy sunshine re-imagining of the Pandora myth

Beschreibung

The instant bestselling YA Greek myth re-imagining from Bea Fitzgerald, TikTok superstar and Sunday Times bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen.

Pandora is the first human woman - made by the gods on Olympus for one simple purpose: to love and be loved by her new husband, the titan Epimatheos.

The only problem? He wants nothing to do with her.

Hurt and confused, Pandora struggles to find meaning in her new life. What's the point of being given all these gifts by the gods, if she can't get this infuriating, awful, frankly very rude man (with an admittedly quite nice face) to love her? Maybe she's failing at her life's purpose. Or maybe she's destined for an entirely different one . . . ?

As Pandora and Matheos work to uncover why she was created, that fated connection between them feels increasingly difficult to ignore. And with that comes terrible risk. Because Matheos's traitorous brother, Prometheus, is a seer - and before the gods captured him he issued a final warning: that Pandora and Matheos's love will be humanity's doom.

So . . . what do you do when faced with an all-powerful love . . . that just happens to threaten the end of the world?

Pandora's about to find out.

A glorious sunshine/grumpy romantic re-imagining of the Pandora myth, from the bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen and The End Crowns All

Rezensionen

No one does Greek myths quite like Bea Fitzgerald, whose teenage heroines unapologetically take centre stage, outplaying the gods at every turn . In A Beautiful Evil, the Olympians conjure up Pandora, the first human woman who, in contrast to classic retellings, is here smart, complex and neurodivergent, made for a husband who seems not to want her. Facing her are the challenges of navigating an unlikely romance and finding her life's purpose - as well as that tricky business of opening a jar to release all the evils of the world upon humanity. A deliciously addictive romp. The Observer
