NOTES

"This is the epic retelling of Troy, the most famous war in myth or history, in which four strong yet misunderstood women take center stage, their stories so intricately and beautifully woven together that the result is an utterly spellbinding and immersive historical novel"--

The women of Troy take center stage-- and their stories will outlast us all. Andromache is cast as the doting wife of Prince Hector, yet her Amazon warrior name means "battler of men." She must gather a band of outcasts and become the military commander she was born to be before the life she and Hector have built is reduced to ashes. Rhea is a horse whisperer who finally earns a place and sense of belonging in Hector's stables. To save her new home, she must become an unlikely spy. Helen is blamed by all for starting the Trojan War, but to foil a plot to undermine Hector, she must reveal her true face to the one who despises her most. -- adapted from back cover
