Felicia Day, actress and instant New York Times bestselling author of the "engaging and often hilarious" (USA TODAY) You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), returns with a feminist graphic novel about the lost mythical character of Philonoe—Helen of Troy's sister.
Helen of Troy. Clytemnestra. Timandra.

Three sisters, infamously cursed by the goddess Aphrodite to betray their husbands, are known the world over. But few know about the fourth sister: Philonoe. Lost to historical record, all we know from ancient texts is that she avoided the curse placed on her family, and was granted immortality by the goddess Artemis. But why and how did this happen?

Now, Felicia Day is determined to bring Philonoe to vivid life and fill in the missing pieces with this graphic novel retelling. Her story is a traditional hero's journey with a feminist twist. Born as both a Spartan princess and with a wine-stain birthmark on her face, Philonoe is destined for a different fate than her sisters. Her remarkable but overlooked life is finally revealed in this clever and engaging graphic novel that is perfect for fans of The Palace of Eros and Lore Olympus.
