A vibrant and romantic sapphic reimagining of the fall of Troy, that also gently explores the representation of asexuality, largely drawn from the author's own experience. Great companion book to GIRL, GODDESS, QUEEN
 
When Princess Cassandra’s patron god, Apollo, offers her the gift of prophecy—and all the power that comes with it—she jumps at the opportunity. But when she fails to uphold her end of the agreement, her prophecy becomes doomed. No one believes her visions of an alluring, lonely girl who is going to start a war.
 
Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love, though it’s proving more elusive than she’d hoped. Far from home and surrounded by strangers, Helen's beauty and intelligence are no match for the politics of the Trojan court, especially when one princess with fiery amber eyes is determined to be rid of her.
When war finally strikes, fate brings Cassandra and Helen together in ways not even the gods could have foretold. Together they will change their destinies or be the ruin of all that they love. 
But how can they change their futures when following their hearts means defying the gods themselves?
