Priam’s Daughter

Novel depicts the intense personal tragedy of young Trojan princes whose visions of fire and death became the terrifying reality of history’s first great war. Sallaska blends sound historical scholarship – including the explosion of several long-cherished myths – with an absorbing narrative to paint a unforgettable portrait of the tormented Cassandra, King Priam’s favorite daughter, whose dark premonitions were dismissed as madness. Author gives new life and sense of immediacy to the saga of Troy, with all the splendor, the brutality, and the high drama that have captured men’s imaginations for more then 30 centuries.
