Synopsis for Wrath Goddess Sing:

In WRATH GODDESS SING, Deane reimagines the famed warrior Achilles as a transgender woman. Put upon her mission by the goddess Athena, Achilles sets herself off to battle—only to find her path much more complicated than expected. Caught in the middle of a dramatic celestial feud and a cat-and-mouse game with an enemy hell-bent on having Achilles for herself, WRATH GODDESS SING chronicles Achilles’ bloody, fierce transformation into the most revered soldier in Greek mythos—and the person she becomes beneath the legend of it all.
