Synopsis
Helikaon, a Dardanian trading lord haunted by a violent past, moves between the courts and coastlines of the Aegean as tensions rise between the expansionist Mykene kingdom and the loose coalition of Trojan-allied lands. As Helikaon builds alliances, evades assassins, and falls for Kalliope, a doomed priestess, the ambitions of Mykene's ruthless king Agamemnon and the pride of Troy's royal house set both nations on a collision course toward war.
