Kore’s Field

For most of her life, Princess Alyce has lived cloistered in fear and isolation. Her homeland, the kingdom of Myrilla, is weak. Her people suffer from hunger and failed crops. Worst yet, the gods seem to have turned their backs on the land of their most beloved member: Kore, wife of the God of Souls.

But when an enemy army invades Myrilla and Alyce is forced to marry its leader, she finds herself thrust into an unfamiliar world of ritual and politics. A world where kings seek counsel from shepherds, crops will only grow if the proper blood is spilt first, and to offend the gods means certain death. Only by learning to follow in Kore’s ancient footsteps will Alyce find any hope for Myrilla, her husband, and her own future.

Kore’s Field brings the extraordinary, yet often overlooked, myth of Admetus and Alcestis to life through an unforgettable young woman’s story of determination, uncertainty, and the true sacrificial nature of love.
