Eight lives, eight strangers caught within Ilion’s web and the Spartan princess at the heart of the story. Helen dreams of escape and reuniting with the husband she was forced to leave behind. Her cousins serve as her protectors in the Trojan court. For Theia, the dream of freedom from her master feels like a distant fantasy while her husband stands between Helen and Paris as Helen’s guard.
Cassandra’s fate is her own, cursed with visions she struggles to understand and rarely believed by her family and older brothers.
