Description
Born into the wealth and privilege of Sparta, sisters Helen and Klytemnestra soon discover that royal blood offers little control over their own lives. Separated in childhood and married to powerful kings, they are expected to produce heirs, obey their husbands, and endure the roles society has chosen for them. As the ambitions and betrayals of the Greek world set the stage for the Trojan War, each sister must reckon with love, power, marriage, motherhood, and the cost of defying tradition. Told through alternating perspectives, this vivid reimagining of myth gives voice to two legendary women and explores the hidden lives behind the stories of Helen of Troy and Klytemnestra.
