Daughters of Bronze: A Novel of Troy

by A. D. Rhine Narrated by Not Yet Available

Overview

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 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.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Daughters of Bronze
"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
 
"A.D. Rhine masterfully reweaves the fate of Troy with an emotional depth and hero'sm that rivals Homer's original epic. An astonishing reimaging of myth and history that shines light on the courageous figures long overshadowed by male perspectives."—MJ Pankey, author of Epic of Helinthia
