It's the tenth year of the Trojan War. Marpessa is gifted with God-sight and can see the Immortals. She is handmaiden to Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. Xanthe, her older sister, tends the warriors in the Blood Room, where the wounded are carried in from battle. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, is bored with the endless dreary war and decides to play with the two girls. When the young soldier Alastor is brought into the Blood Room, Aphrodite begins her game. Suggested level: secondary.
