Song of Sacrifice (Homeric Chronicles)

Fans of Greek mythology and Trojan War retellings will LOVE Song of Sacrifice.

The Homeric Chronicles soars to Mt.

Olympus where you walk among the bickering gods and goddesses in their crystal hall, before being swept down the slopes to the world of mortals striving for love and contemplating war.Below Olympus, the shining citadel of Troy is ruled by the fiercely devoted Queen Hecuba and the practical King Priam.

Their royal peace is shattered by the prophecy that their unborn son will destroy everything they hold dear.

The child’ s fate is bound to the fiery anger of Apollo.

Faced with defying the icy gods above, will Priam risk his city or his son and the love of his life?Across the wine-dark sea in the west, the kingdoms of the Greeks transition power from old to new blood.

The arranged marriages to the sisters Clytemnestra and Helen of Sparta gave Agamemnon and Menelaus a claim to Mycenae and Sparta.

Greed, power, and lust drive the brothers to want more.

But how much more?Further west, on the island kingdom of Ithaka, Odysseus and his new bride Penelope begin their reign.

All is well until the Trojan prophecy collides with the kidnapping of Helen of Sparta, and an old promise comes back to haunt the young king.

Will he leave the new life he has just begun?In the Great Hall of Phthia to the north, the forced marriage between King Peleus and the sea-nymph Thetis sets everything in motion with the bounce of a golden apple.
