Iphigenia has always been the perfect daughter, the perfect princess, beloved by both her people and her father. With Greece on the brink of war, destiny chooses her to fulfil a higher purpose. But she might just have to sacrifice everything.
Elektra is sick of being held down by those in power. Despite being a princess, she is living a life in poverty, one she didn't choose. But when her brother returns home after a long absence, she might just take matters into her own hands.

Recommendation by CrownedMadness
"The House of Atreus" is a Greek Mythology retelling that revolves around three women: Klytemnestra and her two daughters, Iphigenia and Elektra. The author has done a great job of revitalizing the centuries-old tale, and the narrative is easy to follow, which is particularly beneficial for a complex story like this. This novella is ideal for readers who love complex heroines, multiple points of view, and short books. I highly recommend it for fans of Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint. Give some love to this budding writer!
