  • "The siege of Troy has lasted almost ten years, and the citizens are suffering. Prince Hector is risking his life daily, defending his beloved city from the terrifying Achilles and the rest of the Greek army. But life does go on within the walls. This is the story of two devoted sisters, Xanthe and Marpessa, both servants in the royal palaces of Troy, Marpessa is a strange, silent girl who can see and speak to the gods. She relies on her stronger sister, sweet-natured Xanthe. But when the Goddess Aphrodite grows bored with the war, the bond between the pair is broken - for the Goddess of Desire decides it would be amusing to make them both fall in love with the same man, the young warrior Alastor."
