Description

Cassandra, daughter of the King of Troy, possesses the gift of prophecy but is fated to be ignored. Ten years of brutal war have passed, and her city has fallen to the Greek army. Now, she is a prisoner of war, shackled outside the gates of Agamemnon's Mycenae fortress. Through memories of her childhood and reflections on the long years of conflict, Cassandra pieces together the legendary fall of her city. Her story, often lost among the triumphs of heroes like Achilles and Hector, reveals the untold personal tale of a woman living in an age of legend. This book offers a unique perspective on one of history's most famous stories, shedding light on the experiences of those who were overlooked by time.
