Blurb
The Trojan War threatens Troy’s allies and the Greek
supply raids spread. A young healing priestess, designated as future queen,
must defend her city against both divine anger and invading Greeks. She finds
strength in visions of a handsome warrior god; will that be enough when the
half-immortal Achilles attacks? Hand of
Fire, a tale of resilience and hope, blends history and legend in the
untold story of Achilles’s famous captive, Briseis.
