Heart-shattered by her husband's choice to sacrifice their eldest daughter to the gods in exchange for a fair wind to Troy, she has spent this long decade plotting retribution, in a palace haunted by child-ghosts.As one wife journeys toward the other, united by the vision of Agamemnon's death, one thing is certain: this long-awaited homecoming will change everyone's fates forever.

Alaturi de comorile jefuite se afla numeroasele troiene capturate de greci - printre ele legendara profetesa Cassandra si slujnica ei atenta, Ritsa.
