Bringing ancient myth to life with passion, humour and humanity, Lindsay
Clarke vividly retells the story of Troy and of the heroes who fought
there.
When the mortal Paris settles a contest between the gods, he is promised
the love of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world.
But Helen is already married, to the powerful Menelaus of Sparta, and
the Kings of many cities have sworn to defend their union. Paris' divine
gift threatens to set his world aflame.
