Goddess of Yesterday
Description
Swept from her island home as a child, Anaxandra survives upheaval, captivity, and the destruction of everything she knows by assuming a new identity in the dangerous world of ancient Greece. When she is brought to Sparta, she becomes entangled in the volatile household of King Menelaus and Helen, whose beauty and power cast a long shadow over the court. As the arrival of Trojan princes sets desire, loyalty, and ambition on a collision course, Anaxandra must draw on her courage and ingenuity to navigate forces far greater than herself. Set against the legendary events leading to the Trojan War, this gripping historical novel explores survival, identity, belonging, and the strength required to shape one’s own destiny.
