Atalanta the Untamed Huntress

Atalanta was abandoned on a mountainside because her father wanted a son, yet the wilderness refused to let her die. Nursed by a she-bear and raised among hunters, she grows into the swiftest runner in Greece, a deadly archer, and a fearless follower of Artemis. Far from palace walls, she claims a life shaped by her own skill, her own choices, and the freedom of the wild. Her fame carries her into the company of heroes, across dangerous seas, into brutal contests, and toward the monstrous boar ravaging Calydon. Among warriors hungry for glory, Atalanta must survive wounded pride, divided loyalties, and a prince whose defense of her honor brings ruin upon his own family. Every victory draws her closer to the father who cast her away and the future he still believes he has the right to command. Determined to remain untamed, Atalanta sets a deadly race between herself and every man who would claim her. Yet gods, desire, and fate have begun moving around her, and even the fastest woman alive may find that some traps cannot be outrun. Her greatest struggle will demand more than courage, because preserving her freedom may cost her everything she has fought to become.
