Romance Historical
The true story behind the epic love that sparked the Trojan
War and has captivated the world for 3,000 years... Helen of Troy, arguably the most infamous woman in ancient
history, was not the seductress of Homer's poems. Her humble
story began as a Princess of Sparta; honorable, loyal, with
promise to become a powerful queen. Her lauded beauty was
more curse than blessing, inciting lust and jealousy in the
greedy kings who would make her their prize. Given in
marriage to Menelaus of Mycenae, an abusive husband who
neither wants nor needs her, she clings to a prophecy made
to her about a great destiny, and even greater love. That destiny awaits her in Paris, a noble prince of Troy,
whose reputation for fairness and fortitude precedes him as
an Ambassador. Paris is a haunted figure, unjustly cursed at
birth by a dark omen claiming he will cause the destruction
of Troy. This omen overshadows his good deeds, making him an
object of ridicule amongst the Trojan nobility, and
compelling his own mother to try to kill him as a babe. He
is a man who has never known love. Until the day the Fates intervene and Paris travels to
Mycenae as an Ambassador of Troy. He meets Helen, and two
souls linked by common destiny and purpose are reunited.
Their love becomes legend, provoking the greatest war of
ancient history, shaking the foundations of the world, and
paving the way for the rise of Greece and Rome.
