Briseis steps out from the handful of lines she gets in Homer's epic, and fearlessly tells her own story as healer, war prize, and partner to the famous Achilles-here a godlike hero who manages to be all too human. Recommended! -Kate Quinn, NYT Times Bestselling author of The Alice Network
Briseis struggles to protect her city, an ally of Troy, from marauding Greeks and her husband's arrogant violence. She finds strength in visions of a handsome warrior god until he appears before her in flesh and blood. When Briseis raises a sword against the mighty Achilles, she ignites a passion that threatens to betray everyone she holds dear.
Hand of Fire, set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, blends history and myth in Briseis's untold story of adventure, hope and resilience. Immerse yourself in this richly depicted Bronze Age world where Greek gods walk the earth, epic heroes fight with sword and heart, and a woman dares to determine her own destiny.
But what is the difference between a good historical novel and a brilliant one? I suggest you read Judith Starkston's Hand of Fire and you'll discover the answer. -Helen Hollick, Editor, Historical Novels Review
Suspenseful, tragic, surprising and sexy -Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Blue
