Set against the backdrop of a decaying golden age, the story follows Prince Astyanax, the heir to Troy, who is marked for death by the Greek victors. His survival, possibly aided by divine forces, hints at a tragic fate that may echo the past. Drawing on modern archaeological insights, the narrative brings to life a rich tapestry of mythic characters, exploring themes of fate and the cyclical nature of history. Esteemed author Gene Wolfe praises it as a true work of genius.
