About Lauren Lee Merewether

Whenever historical drama fiction author Lauren Lee Merewether visits a place seemingly untouched by time, an emotionally intense family saga is born soon after.

Lauren loves to daydream about times long past while sipping green tea and watching the experts on the Discovery channel unearth our ancestors' civilizations. She likes to dive into history and find overlooked, under-appreciated and relatively unknown tidbits of our past.

If you like page-turning dramatic plots, simple style and dialogue, stories that evoke strong emotions, well-researched historical details, and characters who love and lose, fight wrong with right, and hope in times of despair, a majority of Lauren's reader reviews say you will like her books.

Because life is too rich to tell a story in just one genre, Lauren writes multi-genre fiction stories that blend the historical, drama, and family saga genres and contain elements of coming of age, women's fiction, and romance.

A gripping historical drama—the origin of Greek mythology’s Medusa is uniquely explored and reimagined in this allegorical work of historical fiction that takes us back to Ancient Greece during the rise of the Mycenaeans.

"For what is beautiful is always under threat from those jealous enough to take it for their own."

In 1650 BC, King Oceanus, a self-proclaimed lord of the sea, arrives with his soldiers on the shore of Tiryns and begins a struggle for power and dominance.

Thais, the Tiryns chieftain's daughter, is caught between her father's wish for peace without bloodshed, and the senior councilman's desire to wage war. Yet the biggest threat to the people of Tiryns is not the soldiers in the plains but the growing division within the city.

Seeing no other option to end the pending war, Thais' mother strikes a bargain with their Mother Goddess, trading her life for her daughter's future. Thais is left to discover what her mother bargained for while lies, deceit, and secrets propel her and all of her people into one epic struggle for survival.
