Books like The race of the golden apples by Claire Martin


In a kingdom where Greek myths and legends are as common as the royal bloodlines, a young princess is granted a wish upon her 16th birthday: either to marry into a noble family or to live forever. Princess Atalanta, with her fierce determination and formidable strength, chooses the former. She is tasked with finding a suitable groom who can outperform her in a footrace, but her love for her horse and her fear of the sea make it difficult for her to complete the task. As she navigates the treacherous path of her kingdom and faces various challenges, Atalanta discovers a way to prove her worth and find the perfect match.
