Description
Weak-eyed Hero is the beloved daughter of Agelaus, a Herdsman of Mount Ida in whose shadow stands the fortified citadel of Troy. She was raised under the gentle hand of her father, in the protective company of her three wild but noble brothers, Machaon, Cadmus and Lycon. A year ago they set out in search of Odysseus following the denunciation of their people, and the death of Agelaus, after the bloody fall of Troy. They return having restored the good name of their people, and so it is with joy that they sail into what was once the harbour of the Trojan citadel.
But their celebration is short-lived, as the Amazonian army arrives and, after a bloody conflict, they have taken Hero—leading her courageous brothers back into a quest that will test all the strength they have.
Trying War finds the Herdsmen of Ida once again caught in unfolding legend—facing monsters, murderers and the gods at war, in a desperate attempt to challenge what the fates have decreed.
