When Clytemnestra marries Agamemnon, she ignores the insidious whispers about his family line, the House of Atreus. But when, on the eve of the Trojan War, Agamemnon betrays Clytemnestra in the most unimaginable way, she must confront the curse that has long ravaged their family.
In Troy, Princess Cassandra has the gift of prophecy, but carries a curse of her own: no one will ever believe what she sees. When she is shown what will happen to her beloved city when Agamemnon and his army arrives, she is powerless to stop the tragedy from unfolding.
Elektra, Clytemnestra and Agamemnon’s youngest daughter, wants only for her beloved father to return home from war. But can she escape her family’s bloody history, or is her destiny bound by violence, too?
I have always been a big fan of the Greek myths. My history teacher Mr vd Berg awakened this love, and when I moved to Greece for a summer in the 1990s, this love grew. Jennifer Saint's books make Greek myths come to life! I simply adored this book, I could feel and understand Clytemnestra's hate for Agamemnon, and I could understand Elektra's hate for her mother. A five star read!
