Cassandra (Delphic Women Series Book 2)

The second book in the Delphic Women series presents a reimagined version of a familiar classical story, drawing on historical research and featuring complex characters and explicit content. Aphrodite, goddess of love, proposes a wager with her brother Apollo, the sun god. They decide to use mortals as pawns in their game. Cassandra, a golden-haired Trojan princess with the curse of prophecy, and Diomenes, an Achaean healer, become the subjects of this divine bet. The gods thwart their passions, betray their loves, and render their gifts useless for the sake of entertainment. Set against the backdrop of Troy's fall, the story follows Cassandra and Diomenes as they navigate their roles in the city's destruction. Both have experienced love and loss before. The narrative explores whether they can find love with each other amid the chaos of war, and whether such love can endure against the interference of both gods and mortals.
