The war of
Troy is looming, and all the kings of the
Great Green are gathering, friends and enemies, each with their own dark plans of conquest and plunder.
Into this maelstrom of treachery and deceit come three travellers;
Piria, a runaway priestess nursing a terrible secret,
Kalliades, a warrior with a legendary sword, and
Banokles who will carve his own legend in the battles to come.
Troy: Shield of Thunder takes the reader back into the glories and tragedies of
Bronze Age Greece, reuniting the characters from
Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow; the dread
Helikaon and his great love, the fiery
Andromache, the mighty
Hektor and the fabled storyteller,
Odysseus.
The story concludes in Troy: The Fall of Kings. Have you read the previous title Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow?
