Paperback rights to Pocket Books Literary Guild alternate. Although these mythic figures stumble through some petty, rather too modern dialogue, the dust of the war fairly rises off the page as Bradley animates this rich history and vivifies the conflicts between a culture that reveres the strength of women and one that makes them mere consorts of powerful men. As a priestess of Apollo who rode with the Amazons in the waning days of their rule, Bradley's Kassandra is caught between the whims of warring gods and greedy mortals, forced to bear witness to the awful destinies of those she loves, but unable to change the course of any life, including her own.
And indeed, the Greeks come fast on Paris's heels to lay siege to the city as they struggle to reclaim Helena pretext, some say, disguising Agamemnon's desire to annex Troy and all its riches. On the day that her twin brother Paris brings home beautiful Helen of Sparta as a war prize, Kassandra envisions a firebrand whose rash action will set all Troy aflame.
