Book Description:

The rightful-born queen of Lyrnessos, Briseis watched helplessly from the battlements as her husband and brothers were crushed by the invincible army of King Agamemnon. Taken into slavery, the proud, beautiful seer became the prize of Prince Achilles, the conquering Greeks' mightiest hero. But passion forged chains stronger than any iron, binding the hearts of captive and captor with a love that knew no equal, and when Troy fell, great Achilles promised his beloved Briseis would reign at his side as queen of Thessaly. Yet the jealousy of a ruthless king and the whims of the capricious deities would deny the lovers their happiness. As the flames of war rose higher around them, the prophetess vowed to save the beloved warrior for whom her dark gift foretold doom -- even if it meant defying the gods themselves.

In an age of Gods and Heroes, a love born of war became legend. A masterful retelling of the saga of the Trojan War-- of the remarkable love it engendered-- from an extraordinary new voice in historical fiction.

"A treat..... Franklin grants to Briseis a fresh, wry voice and a way with a descriptive phrase that breaths life into the historical material.... a gracefully structured narrative that is sure to leave readers of intelligent historical fiction eager for Franklin's next venture"... PUBLISHERS WEEKLY


Another veiw of the Trojan War as seen by Briseis
