Gypsy Wedding

Brought up in a caravan on a settled trailer park, Vicky could not be happier with her life. At 15 she is engaged to her childhood friend Liam, the handsomest man on the park. Not only that, but she can't help feeling she's got the balance of her life just right. She's doing well at school and if she works hard she might even fulfill her dream of becoming a dressmaker.

But as she turns 17 the pressure is on for her and Liam to set a date for the wedding, and suddenly Vicky is not so sure. How can she give up her dreams and spend the rest of her life looking after Liam? Especially as her classmate Jordan seems a far more exciting prospect...

What on earth is a girl to do? She loves Liam, but Jordan makes her feel things she's never felt before, and her best friend Kelly's life seems so much more fun than her own limited options. But can she really turn her back on her friends and family and survive in a hostile world?

In the year running up to her wedding, Vicky is about to find out that life outside the traveller community is a lot more complicated than she'd thought...

Reviews

A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth . . . Steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional

—— Jennifer L. Armentrout, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash

It's easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Prepare to be swept away!

—— Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles

With vivid, irresistible art and storytelling that would make even the Muses swoon, this modern myth deftly tackles the darkness of the ancient stories while never losing its brilliant light. I couldn't devour it fast enough.

—— Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lore

Sheer bliss. Rachel Smythe is a master storyteller, filling each gorgeously illustrated page with equal parts humor, heart, and joy.

—— Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Abandon series

An addicting, swoony delight. This clever take on a timeless tale is destined to become a modern classic.

—— Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Fable and Namesake

What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek Pantheon, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just staring daggers in its direction.

—— Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine

An addictive, romantic gem of a comic, filled with complex, lovable (and hateable) characters. The artwork is rich and dramatic, with gorgeous colors and bold linework, each panel a dreamy treat for the eyes.

—— Faith Erin Hicks, Eisner Award winner and New York Times bestselling cartoonist

Lore Olympus is the perfect escape. Rachel Smythes artwork is vivid and enchanting, with deeply relatable characters and a deft handling of their dark pasts. For anyone looking for a fresh take on Hades and Persephone, Lore Olympus brings us a sexy and delightful romp that captivates until the very last page. Whimsical and heartfelt!

—— Ashley Poston, author of Geekerella

Lore Olympus is a delicacy. Funny, dark, sexy, and lavishly illustrated, it delights on every page. I cant recommend it enough.

—— Kate Leth, author of Marvels Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!

Moody, beautiful, and funny . . . Be transported to a gorgeous reimagining of Greek gods in a modern fantasy setting. Romance, drama, trauma, and goofs! You will not be able to put this down once you start!

—— Babs Tarr, professional comic artist

Romantic, radical, and relatable, goddesses have never been more gloriously grounded. A must-read for any girls figuring out their own power.

—— Sam Maggs, co-creator of Tell No Tales: Pirates of the Southern Seas

The storytelling is immersive, the characters are engaging, and the art is exquisite. I loved every single frame!

—— Kalynn Bayron, bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead

My favorite graphic novel. Even though the legend of Hades and Persephone is thousands of years old, you will fall in love with these characters in a whole new way - and you'll never see the twists and turns coming!

—— Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Across the Universe
