Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates - three sisters born out of Nyx's darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity. But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warrior Atalanta and her ill-fated lover, Meleager. However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn't make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies? Or will they be bound by Fate forever?

Rose Blythe brings The Fates startlingly back to life. This is how the ancient Greeks would have known The Fates - and their own fates * Sean Lusk, author of THE SECOND SIGHT OF ZACHARY CLOUDESLEY * Passionate, angry, empowering and beautiful * Louise Beech, author of NOTHING ELSE * This is a gorgeous novel. Amidst the now formidable number of feminist mythological retellings, Rosie's The Fates is a clear stand-out. The prose is truly lyrical and immersive and, echoing one of the novel's themes, time spent reading it somehow becomes immaterial. The characters - mortal and divine - are beautifully drawn, leaving readers with their own very clear image of all the protagonists (though, as a writer about the Argonauts, I particularly admired her portrayal of Meleager). And as for the plot twist... I doubt any readers will see this one coming!
