Book description
Three lives will change the destiny of nations.
Helikaon, the young prince of Dardania, haunted by a scarred
and traumatic childhood. The priestess Andromache, whose fiery
spirit and fierce independence threatens the might of kings. And the
legendary warrior Argurios, cloaked in loneliness and driven
only by thoughts of revenge.
In Troy they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries - a
maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery. And beyond its
fabled walls blood-hungry enemies eye its riches and plot its downfall.
It is a time of bravery and betrayal; a time of bloodshed and fear.
A time for heroes.
