Description
As the Trojan War gathers momentum, Helikaon, King of Dardania, is drawn deeper into a struggle where shifting loyalties, ancient rivalries, and the fate of nations collide. Haunted by his unfulfilled love for Andromache, now Hektor’s wife, he must navigate the demands of honor and kingship while confronting enemies both on the battlefield and within himself. Blending sweeping action with intimate portraits of courage, grief, and desire, the novel explores what people will risk for love, loyalty, and survival. Its richly imagined Bronze Age setting and emotionally charged characters exemplify a masterful style of heroic historical fantasy.
