This novel really helped me better to understand the great characters from Greek Mythology with how the author wound them into the storyline. Kassandra's future was decided the day she was born in the fourth century BC, but her mother doesn't want her to go down that path and knows Kassandra is destined for a greater life. A greater life than she could ever give her. Sending her on a journey and to lands only dreamed of, Kassandra is already being tested by the gods and this is only the beginning of proving herself and her worth to herself and those who believe in her, and her path. There was so much to this storyline and I loved it all. There was history, romance, battles, family and a woman changing the perceptions of who and what they should be. Thank you to the author for her generosity of the free autographed novel, this will go on the shelf with her other novels. This review is of my own opinion and accord. ( )

An amazing story of courage, strength, and fighting back, Kassandra will waltz her way into your heart, and keep you captivated for hours. Blasdell does an amazing job of bringing Ancient Greece to life, with imagery that makes the story unfold before you like a movie. Kassandra has such a transformation over the course of the book, and I loved her fighting spirit. She's not perfect, but that only makes me love her as a character even more. The plot moves along smoothly, and at a good pace, with rarely a dull moment. I won't give any spoilers, but if you're a fan of Ancient Greece, myths, or historical romance, you're going to fall in love with this book! ( )
