A god who thought he was owed and the princess who dared to deny him. Cassandra, the princess of Troy, lives a life of privilege and luxury few can fathom.

When her beauty and cunning catch the eye of Apollo, the god of prophecy, he lavishes her with gifts, the greatest among them being the ability to see the future. But her dreams of being a powerful seer soon become nightmares when she denies him what he truly desired all along: Her body, and not her mind.

Enraged by her refusal, Apollo inflicts the cruelest of punishments: To speak the truth but never be believed. Not long after, visions of her beloved city burning to the ground torment Cassandra.

But when she tries to warn the king and queen of the utter decimation that will befall Troy should her brothers Paris and Hector envoy to Sparta, it falls on deaf ears. As war erupts and rages on for a decade, the Greeks relentlessly seek to reclaim Helen, the stolen queen and Paris's ill-fated prize.

With each passing year, Cassandra's warnings grow more desperate, her isolation more profound. Branded a lunatic, she teeters on the edge of madness, fighting to save her people from the doom she knows is coming.

Set during the Trojan War, The Princess and the Prophecy is a retelling of the downfall of Troy through Cassandra's eyes, and a closer look at all women who are forced to sacrifice to the egos of men. While not used gratuitously, attempted SA, violence, torture, and infanticide are present in this retelling of Cassandra's story.
