Book description
It was a time of warriors... It was ten years ago since Odysseus
started his rule of Ithaca and his reign has been one of peace and
plenty. But across the seas, eyes meet across a burning fire and a
long-forgotten oath begins to surface. When Paris of Troy meets Helen of
Sparta the love affair of centuries begins. For the rest of Greece - it
means war. Reminded of the sacred oath sworn, Odysseus and his captain
of the guard, Eperitus must gather their troops and journey to Aulis
where the fleet of Greeks is gathering to begin their legendary journey
to Troy. But a sleight to the gods keeps their ships trapped at harbour
and only the greatest of sacrifices can set them free - the slaughter of
an innocent girl. In a race against time, Odysseus and Eperitus pit
themselves against Kings and Gods in an attempt to prevent the greatest
war in history. But the gates of Troy are looming…
