From the #1 bestselling author comes an epic story of love and war as two opposing deities find themselves drawn together against the odds. Because when Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly . . .

THIS IS THE OLDEST LOVE STORY OF ALL TIME . . .

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, wields unparalleled power over every divine and mortal heart. Though her world is one of beauty, she is the most dangerous god of all, ruled by passion regardless of the consequences.

Ares, God of War, is her perfect contradiction: feared, unwanted and relentless in his devotion to chaos. Where she breathes life into longing, he thrives in destruction.

And yet gods are no more immune to love and loss than anyone else, and soon their lives collide. But even divine love can't protect them from the fates of Mount Olympus, and whilst the God of War may be capable of greater love than anyone else, so may the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes.

Praise for This Immortal Heart

An exceptional achievement. Jennifer Saint immerses us into a vibrant, magical world, with a wonderfully compelling heroine

Elodie Harper on HERA

Jennifer Saint's Hera is THE essential mythological book of the decade

Nikita Gill on HERA

Hera is Jennifer Saint's best book yet, and every bit as fierce, powerful and captivating as Hera herself

Rosie Hewlett on HERA

With Saint's signature eloquent and lyrical prose, Hera is not only a shrewd depiction of a complex female character but an expansive dissemination of the patriarchal pantheon

Bea Fitzgerald on HERA

Very special. With echoes of Miller's Circe, Hera is an epic novel with an unforgettable cast of characters
