Song of great sorrow. Even greater love.

Lost between the timeless lines of Homer’s epic, the women of Troy finally stand to be counted. Their story is one you’ve never encountered, and it will change the fate of Troy forever.
Andromache has proven herself a capable leader, but can she maintain that hard-won status now that she is the mother to the city’s long-awaited heir? With enemies closing in, Andromache must bring together a divided city in time to make a final stand.
Rhea is a Trojan spy, but she never expected to find love in the enemy camp. When the final battle lines are drawn, Rhea must decide where her loyalties lie and how much she is willing to lose.
Helen is no longer the same broken woman first brought to Troy as a captive. Given a second chance at life, she must cast off her shroud of grief and use her healing gifts to save Troy’s greatest hope.
Cassandra has seen Troy’s fate. But she knows the truth is only as valuable as the person who tells it . . . and few in Troy value her. All that is about to change. One hero will rise, another will fall . . . and this time, Cassandra will have her say.
From the highest tower to the most humble alley, the bloody beaches to the dusty plain, Daughters of Bronze is the thrilling conclusion to the duology that began with Horses of Fire, and breathes life into the Troy of myth and history. It is an epic of a thousand invisible actions leading to a single moment, adding a refrain of unexpected light to the legend of Troy.

      This feminist retelling recreates the Trojan War through the eyes of four women--Andromache, wife of Hector; Helen, stolen Greek queen; Rhea, servant and spy; and Cassandra, cursed prophetess. Rhea sneaks out to joins the enslaved women in the Greek camp and takes information back to Andromache, though she is torn because she has fallen in love with Ajax, the mighty Greek warrior. Pregnant with Hector's son, Andromache begs Hector not to fight the Greek warrior Achilles. The once-hated Helen tries to caution Hector about the Greek plans, while Cassandra, with her strange prophecies, warns Hector and King Priam of Troy's destruction. Working together, the four women also discover that there is a traitor within King Priam's circle while they try to smuggle Andromache's son out of Troy. Rhine's follow-up to Horses of Fire (2023) can be read by itself, although the reader needs some familiarity with the Iliad and the Trojan War to fully appreciate it. This sweeping epic is recommended for those who love Claire Heywood's Daughters of Sparta (2021) and Pat Barker's The Women of Troy (2021), and anyone interested in ancient history.
