New Fantasy Novel The Tale of Kore blends Greek Mythology, Dark Academia, and Epic Fantasy
BANFF, AB., Dec. 6, 2024—Mythosmith Publishing announces the release of The Tale of Kore, a new fantasy novel by Amanda L. Rautio. Scheduled for release on December 6, 2024, this book offers a fresh take on the myth of Persephone and Hades. The Tale of Kore follows Corey, a masters student looking for something more than theory. After participating in an Ancient Greek cult, she finds herself in a world of dying and missing gods.
This novel marries ancient myth with a modern, academic setting. It explores themes of transformation, reclaiming personal power, and facing the unknown. Corey’s journey is one of deep personal change, reflecting the cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Early readers have praised the novel for its compelling characters, intricate plot, and vivid descriptions of the academic world, making it an essential addition to the reading list of those who love books like Circe by Madeline Miller, The Secret History by Donna Tartt, and If We Were Villains by M. L. Rio.
"I wrote this book as a response to my relationship with academia—a love letter to what I wish the experience had been like,” said Amanda L. Rautio. “I had so many feelings, and nowhere to put them. I wanted to marry my longing for knowledge with stories I have always loved.”
The Tale of Kore will be available for purchase in Paperback and Hardcover through Amazon and distributor networks while the Ebook will be a part of the exclusive Kindle Unlimited program. The title will be available December 6th, 2024. To learn more about the book and upcoming projects, visit www.themythosmith.ca, or follow Amanda L. Rautio on Instagram (@themythsmith).
