An Evening with Jennifer Saint
Jennifer Saint will join us this June to celebrate This Immortal Heart – an epic story of love and war where two opposing deities find themselves drawn to each other against all odds. When Aphrodite and Ares fall in love, sparks are bound to fly…
THIS IS THE OLDEST LOVE STORY OF ALL TIME . .
About the Author
Jennifer Saint grew up reading Greek mythology and was always drawn to the untold stories hidden within the myths. After thirteen years as a high school English teacher, she wrote Ariadne, which was shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year in 2021. All of her novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers, with both Elektra and Atalanta hitting the coveted number one slot.
Jennifer Saint lives here in Yorkshire with her family.
About the Book
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 many the Goddess of Love be capable of the gravest mistakes.
