An exciting and equally lyrical new retelling from Jennifer Saint, the Sunday Times bestselling author of ARIADNE
The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.
Clytemnestra
The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon – her hopes of averting the curse are
dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. Her husband
raises a great army against them and determines to win, whatever the cost.
Cassandra
Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be
believed when she speaks of it. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city
will fall.
Elektra
The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the
bloodletting of her kin. But can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny
also bound by violence?
