Queen of Themiscyra

 

Queens of Themiscyra By Hannah Lynn

Press Release New book, ‘Queens of Themiscyra’ , brings mythological legends to life. 

Released May 1st, 2022 With her latest book in the Grecian Women series, Queens of Themiscyra: The enthralling rise and fall of the Amazons most fearsome daughters, author Hannah Lynn delves deep into the past and pulls forth a remarkably relatable tale of sisterly loyalty and family duty. Many of us are familiar with Wonder Woman and all the other references to this legendary race of women scattered liberally through pop culture and popular literature - but this book delves so much deeper. Queens of Themiscyra brings context to this extraordinary group of women, arising from Ares, God of War, himself. Yet, it is the complexity of characters themselves and their interpersonal relationships that hold the reader, and although men of fame and renown play significant roles, throughout the text it is the women - and more importantly the Amazon women - who carry the story and ensure that it is a memorable one. “I tried to draw from as many original mythological stories as possible for this novel,” Lynn said. “But the warrior women are not merely myths, and it was important for me to incorporate the lives, loves and losses of such outstanding women into the book.” 

Queens of Themiscyra is 450 pages and available in ebook and print versions at Amazon, and hardcover at WHSmith’s, Waterstones, Barnes&Noble and all good bookshops.
