A Novel of Troy
by A. D. Rhine
Song of great sorrow. Even greater love.
Lost between the timeless lines of Homer's epic, the women of Troy finally stand to be counted. Their story is one you've never encountered, and it will change the fate of Troy forever.
Andromache has proven herself a capable leader, but can she maintain that hard-won status now that she is the mother to the city's long-awaited heir? With enemies closing in, Andromache must bring together a divided city in time to make a final stand.
Rhea is a Trojan spy, but she never expected to find love in the enemy camp. When the final battle lines are drawn, Rhea must decide where her loyalties lie and how much she is willing to lose.
Helen is no longer the same broken woman first brought to Troy as a captive. Given a second chance at life, she must cast off her shroud of grief and use her healing gifts to save Troy's greatest hope.
Cassandra has seen Troy's fate. But she knows the truth is only as valuable as the person who tells it ... and few in Troy value her. All that is about to change. One hero will rise, another will fall ... and this time, Cassandra will have her say.
From the highest tower to the most humble alley, the bloody beaches to the dusty plain, Daughters of Bronze is the thrilling conclusion to the duology that began with Horses of Fire, and breathes life into the Troy of myth and history. It is an epic of a thousand invisible actions leading to a single moment, adding a refrain of unexpected light to the legend of Troy.
"Worthy of gracing the shelves alongside Renault and Miller, Daughters of Bronze is an epic feat. The ladies of the Trojan War are depicted in these brilliant pages with grace, eloquence, and an emotional depth to which many other authors can only aspire. The lyrical writing of A.D. Rhine sets this book apart from so many Greek myth reimaginings, bringing to life a tale as old as time in ways not yet seen before. A stellar accomplishment." —Claire M. Andrews, author of the Daughter of Sparta trilogy
"With a powerful poetic style, reminiscent of the past, and a modern perspective, Daughters of Bronze brings the women of war-torn Troy to vibrant, luminous life. Each page sings with the strength -- and sorrow -- of four voices, four stories, coming together in one shared chorus. Their song? Nothing is impossible when women find each other and fight back." —Laura J. A. Bear, author of Medusa's Sisters
"A moving tale in a time of bloody conflict and harrowing resolution, Daughters of Bronze evokes the power, the pain, and the hope of four legendary women trapped within Troy's walls as an epic war rages. It is a story told from behind the scenes, a story of the true weavers of history. Despite knowing their deeds may be forgotten, they fight for themselves and for one another, and seek to confound fate and embrace life in the face of almost certain tragedy." —Joel H. Morris, author of All Our Yesterdays: A Novel of Lady Macbeth
