Daughter of Troy

In an Age of Gods and Heroes, a Love Born of War Became Legend The rightful-born queen of Lyrnessos, Briseis watched helplessly from the battlements as her husband and brothers were crushed by the invincible army of King Agamemnon. Taken into slavery, the proud, beautiful seer became the prize of Prince Achilles, the conquering Greeks' mightiest hero. But passion forged chains stronger than any iron, binding the hearts of captive and captor with a love that knew no equal, and when Troy fell, great Achilles promised his beloved Briseis would reign at his side as queen of Thessaly. Yet the jealousy of a ruthless king and the whims of the capricious deities would deny the lovers their happiness. As the flames of war rose higher around them, the prophetess vowed to save the beloved warrior for whom her dark gift foretold doom-even if it meant defying the gods themselves. A masterful epic retelling of the saga of the Trojan War-and of the remarkable love it engendered-from an extraordinary new voice in historical fiction.Franklin, Sarah B. is the author of 'Daughter of Troy' with ISBN 9780380818303 and ISBN 0380818302.
