Finally, Cassandra, princess of Troy and priestess of Apollo. Elektra, is the youngest daughter of Clytemnestra, and sister to the sacrificed Iphigenia, who looks up to her father regardless of what he has done. Clytemnestra’s husband, Agamemnon, brother to Menelaus, leads the army to get Helen back, but in doing so betrays Clytemnestra by sacrificing their eldest daughter Iphigenia to appease the gods and get a fair wind to sail. Clytemnestra is the sister of Helen, who has gone to Troy with Paris, deserting her husband Menelaus, for Paris, Prince of Troy and thus starting the war against Troy. But can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?Īfter the huge success of Ariadne, Jennifer Saint has returned, this time bringing us the story of three very different women whose lives are forever changed by the Trojan War. The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall.
Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it. Her husband raises a great army against them and determines to win, whatever the cost. The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon – her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance.
