With divine beauty comes dangerous power.
Helen believed she could escape her destiny and save her
people from utter destruction. After defying her family and betraying her
intended husband, she found peace with her beloved Theseus, the king of Athens
and son of Poseidon.
But peace did not last long. Cruelly separated from Theseus
by the gods, and uncertain whether he will live or die, Helen is forced to
return to Sparta. In order to avoid marriage to Menelaus, a powerful prince
unhinged by desire, Helen assembles an array of suitors to compete for her
hand. As the men circle like vultures, Helen dreams again of war—and of a
strange prince, meant to steal her away. Every step she takes to protect
herself and her people seems to bring destruction nearer.
Without Theseus’s
strength to support her, can Helen thwart the gods and stop her nightmare from
coming to pass?
