When Princess Atalanta is born, a daughter rather than the son, she is left on a mountainside to die. But even then, she is a survivor. Raised by a mother bear under the protective eye of the goddess Artemis, Atalanta grows up wild and free, with just one condition: if she marries, Artemis warns, it will be her undoing. When Artemis offers her the chance to fight in her name alongside the Argonauts, the fiercest band of warriors, Atalanta seizes it. As she is swept into a passionate affair, she begins to question the goddess' true intentions.
