Summary:
Throughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for glory, some for
honor--and some for love. In ancient Greece, the passion of two of history's
most legendary lovers--Paris, Prince of Troy and Helen, Queen of Sparta--ignites
a war that will devastate a civilization. When Paris steals Helen away from her
husband, King Menelaus, it is an insult that cannot be suffered. Familial pride
dictates that an affront to Menelaus is an affront to his brother Agamemnon,
powerful King of the Myceneans, who soon unites all the massive tribes of Greece
to steal Helen back from Troy in defense of his brother's honor. In truth,
Agamemnon's pursuit of honor is corrupted by his overwhelming greed--he needs
control of Troy to ensure the supremacy of his already vast empire. The walled
city, under the leadership of King Prium and defended by mighty Prince Hector,
is a citadel that no army has been able to breach. One man alone stands as the
key to victory or defeat over Troy--Achilles, believed to be the greatest
warrior alive. Arrogant, rebellious and seemingly invincible, Achilles has no
allegiance to anyone or anything, save his own glory. It is his insatiable
hunger for eternal renown that leads him to attack the gates of Troy under
Agamemnon's banner--but it will be love that ultimately decides his fate. Two
worlds will go to war for honor and power. Thousands will fall in pursuit of
glory. And for love, a nation will burn to the ground.-
