The Cassandra - by Sharma Shields (Paperback)

The Cassandra is a thought-provoking and timely novel that delves into the destructive arrogance of war and the consequences of human ingenuity and intuition.

Set during World War II, this book follows a young woman named Mildred Groves who works at a top-secret research facility in remote South Central Washington.

As she begins to have prophetic dreams about the mission's outcome, Mildred is faced with a difficult choice: to do nothing or to summon the courage to question the status quo. With its unique blend of mythic lyricism and historical accuracy, The Cassandra offers a haunting exploration of the costs of blind adherence to ideology.

Sharma Shields' reworking of the classic myth is filled with vivid scenes and grotesque images that will leave readers with a lasting impression.
