Description
Sparta is dying. The gods once ruled the land, until King Menelaus cast them out and crowned himself in their place. Now drought scorches the earth and a mysterious affliction steals the breath from the living, while defiance is answered with blood. When the king revives the ancient trials meant to choose his queen, Helena becomes her dying village’s only hope. Marked by a terrible beauty, she steps forward not for glory, but for survival. Yet beauty alone cannot save her from a crown stolen from the gods. Alone in a dangerous court, Helena must decide whom to trust: Achilles, a legendary warrior bound to the throne by blood and oath, or a mysterious prisoner bearing forbidden magic and long-buried secrets. One guards her cage; the other whispers how to escape it, and one of them is lying. If Helena chooses wrong, Sparta will not simply fall—it will kneel. With the fate of her people resting on her shoulders, Helena must claim the throne of Sparta or be destroyed by it.
