Keep your own name, and demand the gods say it.
Psyche of Crete is determined to marry with greater happiness than her sisters, but when rumors of Psyche's beauty begin to affect temple tribute, Venus, the goddess of love, dispatches her son Cupid to nip the problem in the bud. Planning to use his magicked arrows to cause the girl to fall in love with a beast, Cupid is instead pricked by his own weapon, falling irrevocably in love with Psyche. The steps he takes to claim her, and the fall out from such, will set Psyche on a collision course with the gods, fighting not just for her life, but for a voice in a world that would silence her.
This reimagining of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche challenges the traditional romantic interpretation and explores the silencing effect of violence within structures of power, asking readers to consider the ways in which the stories we choose create our truth.
