E V Wallace: The WIlusiad, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Wilusiad is a historical fantasy epic that combines mythological storytelling with a portal fantasy romance in a city under siege. Drawing from archaeological and historical evidence as well as from traditional mythology, this book aims to explore the lost city of Wilusa, as it was before it gave rise to the great tales of the Greek poets,

Upon opening The Wilusiad, the reader takes a rollercoaster ride into the world of the Late Bronze Age city of Wilusa, where an ancient city is equally threatened by the empires that surround it and the passions that burn within.

In the aftermath of Prince Pari-ziti's marriage to a runaway Spartan Queen, Princess Kassanda, High Priestess of the Sun God Appaliunas, struggles to unite her family and people to defend their city against an incoming army bent upon revenge. But when her desperation drives her to work forbidden magic and summon a rookie archaeologist from our own time into Wilusa, everything she believes is threatened in ways she never imagined. As history, mythology and archaeology collide in the centre of a city at war, must Kassanda sacrifice everything she has hitherto held sacred in order to save everything she loves?
