This novel from Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine about two princesses battling against their fates in the middle of the Trojan War is a must-read for anyone who loves Greek mythology or the Percy Jackson books!
Cassandra, a princess of Troy and follower of Apollo, is delighted when the god himself appears to her. Apollo asks to love her in exchange for giving her future sight, and she agrees--but recoils when he kisses her. Enraged, the god transforms his gift into a curse: Cassandra's visions will never be believed.
After horrifying images of coming war and death pour into her mind, and with no one to heed her warnings, Cassandra risks her safety again and again to avert the disaster awaiting Troy.
But it will take years--and the friendship of an Amazon warrior princess named Rin--for Cassandra to find hope of success in reversing the course of the war.
With heroines to cheer for and nail-biting adventures, Newbery Honor-winning author Gail Carson Levine once again transports her readers, this time to ancient Troy, where princesses (even cursed ones) will stop at nothing to shape their fate.
One princess sees a doomed future. The other knows only the warrior's path.
- Greek Mythology Retelling: Step into the epic Trojan War as you've never seen it before, through the eyes of two young women determined to defy the gods.
- Two Unforgettable Heroines: Follow the cursed Trojan princess Cassandra and the fierce Amazon warrior Rin as their unlikely alliance challenges destiny itself.
- Gods and Curses: A powerful story of what happens when a gift from the god Apollo becomes a terrible curse, and no one will believe your warnings of impending doom.
- For Fans of Percy Jackson: Perfect for readers who love action-packed adventure, mythological figures, and stories of courage against impossible odds.
