As Agamemnon of Mykene leads the Greeks in a war against the city of Troy, archer Helikaon - also known as Aeneas, Lord of the Silver Bow - prepares to defend his beloved city as well as the woman he loves, who's married to another. Although loosely based on Homer's Iliad, this opening volume of author David Gemmel's Troy trilogy (followed by Shield of Thunder and Fall of Kings) takes considerable liberties with the original story, making it best suited to readers who enjoy ancient battlefield epics similar to those by Steven Pressfield or Conn Iggulden.
