This Immortal Heart

A Novel of Aphrodite

De: Jennifer Saint

The epic, captivating tale of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who must reconcile her mind and heart when she is drawn against all odds to Ares, the god of war, from the internationally bestselling author of Ariadne and Hera.

From the moment Aphrodite emerges fully formed from the sea, she is devastatingly beautiful and imbued with ancient power. Driven by passion yet strategic in how she moves through the halls of Olympus and the earthly realm alike, the free-willed goddess wields unparalleled influence over every living being.

When fate brings her face to face with Ares, she bristles at this surly, hot-tempered warrior who’s seemingly her opposite: disliked by everyone and devoted to stirring up conflict. Yet these gods are no more immune to the dizzying highs and lows of love and loss than anyone else, and soon, they are irresistibly drawn to one another.

As their love affair spans mortal lifetimes, Aphrodite begins to question the gods’ games and her role in them. But there’s only so much room for fire and passion in Zeus’s kingdom. Before long, she must test her devotion to her own divine purpose—and to a love that can only lead to ruin.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Jennifer Saint’s best novel yet. A luscious retelling of Aphrodite that held me tight by the heartstrings. I never wanted this novel to end. The prose was exquisite and the world-building so vividly brought to life. An utter triumph.”—Saara El-Arifi, author of Faebound and Cleopatra

“This Immortal Heart takes Jennifer Saint’s work to another level. It is a truly gorgeous, wonderfully fresh romantic fantasy that has its basis in myth but then takes the reader somewhere entirely new. Aphrodite and Ares are vividly realized, both with their own rich stories and passions. This novel is pure escapism of the most enjoyable kind but also—as with all Jennifer’s books—deeply moving and thought-provoking too. I cannot think of a more beautiful or romantic start to my reading year.”—Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den and Boudicca’s Daughter

“Saint weaves an intricate tapestry of love and war with a refreshing take on classic characters—and a few unexpected twists. Her impeccable characterization and beautiful prose combine to sweep the reader away into a myth that feels as fresh as it is familiar, featuring complex female characters you cannot help but root for and despair with. You don’t want to miss this.”—Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire

“Jennifer Saint is a masterful storyteller and this novel depicts the importance of stories, how they endure and shape our legacies, how they help us understand the world and most of all ourselves. Her panoply of Greek gods is a dysfunctional family, with all their quirks and grievances, so human and relatable in their desires and yet supernatural in their abilities. Highly entertaining, immersive, and simmering with passion, This Immortal Heart is a love story for the ages.”—Liz Fremantle, author of Firebran
