The God of Love loses his heart to a mortal girl in this timeless tale of passion, devotion and eternal love. Eros is the goddess Aphrodite's son and servant, shooting his love-tipped arrows at gods and humans alike to stir their passions for good or ill. When his mother becomes jealous of Psyche, the beautiful daughter of a king, Eros is sent to seal the girl's doom - but with a scratch from his own arrow, he falls in love with her himself. Psyche wants more from life than to be married off to a suitor of her father's choosing. The Oracle foretells she will marry the "Almighty Monster, to whom men and gods alike are enslaved," and she is abandoned to meet her woeful fate. Instead, she is spirited away to a spectacular palace and discovers tenderness and passion in the arms of her mysterious, invisible husband: Eros. Yet mistrust shatters their bliss, and Psyche must win back her beloved through many labors at the hands of the beautiful and cruel Aphrodite.
