Summary
“You deserve a gift, even so,” my uncle continues and I don’t hear the danger in it until it’s too late. “Kassandra, stand for me.”
No.
My eyes are still on Brasidas as he turns to me, squaring his wool covered shoulders. I stand, unwilling or unable to resist a direct order from my King.
“Come forward, I’ve made my decision.”
A prized pig brandied about to the highest bidder. My eyes cast low as my dread is replaced by fire.
“Brasidas, my niece’s hand for your victories. You’ll wed in Gamelion, Hera’s moon. Many blessings.”
I can’t look up. I can’t face it.
The fire goes cold, barely knowing warmth within my chest.
Brasidas doesn’t touch me, perhaps knowing that I’d snap his wrist if he tried.

Summary
"It was unmistakable, really. The way he bowed before giving his name. His way of speaking. His stance. His brutal but sophisticated fighting style, revealing years of training and experience on the battlefield. The way he anticipated her movements and reacted to them. It was a dialogue. A dance. Something she’d never experienced before. "
Kassandra meets a Spartan spy in a burning warehouse. What the future holds for them, only the Fates know.

Summary
Kassandra is surrounded by thugs in a burning warehouse when suddenly a man comes out of nowhere to assist her. Despite her refusal to admit it- even to herself- the stranger has saved her life and to her astonishment asks for nothing in return. His name is Brasidas of Sparta.
He is everything she should hate. A Spartan Commander, loyal to his city state and its laws, a man driven by duty and honor. And most importantly a man who resembles another... from her past.
However, she falls in love with Brasidas as soon as she watches him fight by her side. Can Kassandra fight her feelings for him? Can she trust him or will he betray her as her father did? Her past collides with her future while her adventures steer her to roads she must cross, leaving her almost no choice.
