THE GREATEST CONFLICT IN OUR SHARED HISTORY.

FROM AMONGST THE RANKS OF LEGENDARY HEROES, A NEW ONE WILL RISE.

For Leonteus, bastard son of the former king of Argos, the hegemon of his half-brother King Diomedes' bodyguard is what he has trained for his entire life.

But the stability of the land of the Achaeans is suddenly rent in two by the abduction of King Menelaus's queen, Helen, by a prince of Troy.

Agamemnon, Menelaus's brother, calls on all the foremost men who, as Helen's suitors, swore allegiance to defend the man who won her hand a decade before. Honourable Diomedes answers that summons.

The hundred-thousand-man army of the Achaeans sail for war amidst ill-fated omens, destined either to reduce Troy's great walls to rubble, or die far from home in the pursuit of gold and glory.

And Leonteus, brother of a warrior king, comrade to the wily Odysseus, peerless but troubled Achilles and the grasping, self-centred Agamemnon, will find himself at the heart of the deadliest war ever fought.

From Sunday Times bestseller and legend of historical adventure Anthony Riches comes a sensational new vision of the Trojan War.
