Spirited and pretty, Anaxandra is playmate to King Nicandor’s crippled daughter, Callisto, until pirates attack Nicandor’s small Greek island kingdom and slay everyone except Anaxandra. When Sparta’s King Menalaus comes to investigate, Anaxandra assumes the identity of Princess Callisto to avoid becoming a slave. But Menalaus’ beautiful half-goddess wife, Helen, doubts the girl’s story. Worse, Helen is about to join forces with Trojan prince Paris. Now Anaxandra must reinvent herself in a desperate attempt to prevent war.

I generally enjoy fiction that places real characters within a mythological framework. This novel is definitely an adventure, but the violence and traumatic events left me feeling disturbed and hopeless -- despite the potential promise of the very last five minutes. As a child I believed that humanity in general was capable of evolving beyond self-interest, greed, and horrific violence, but unfortunately the longer I live and the more I learn, I think compassion, foresight, generosity, and resourcefulness are increasingly rare characteristics (with eight billion people on Earth). While I admired the protagonist's spirited persistence, her life losses felt almost unbearable...much too real in our current culture of obsessive selfishness and endless violence. I almost quit listening; but hung on until the little bit of light at the very end.
