Trying War

Hero is the beloved daughter of Agelaus, a Herdsman of Mount Ida—until the Amazons claim her as their queen. A year has passed since Hero and her wild but noble brothers left the ruins of Troy in search of Odysseus. And so it is with joy that they sight home from the bow of their ship.

But their celebration is short-lived. The Amazons await them, stealing Hero and leaving only blood in their wake. Machaon, Cadmus and Lycon set out to rescue their sister from a destiny they know she does not want.

Once again the Herdsmen of Ida are caught in unfolding legend—facing monsters, murderers and the gods at war, in a desperate attempt to challenge what the fates have decreed.
