Three lives will change the destiny of nations. Helikaon, the young prince of Dardania, haunted by a scarred and traumatic childhood. The priestess Andromache, whose fiery spirit and fierce independence threatens the might of kings. And the legendary warrior Argurios, cloaked in loneliness and driven only by thoughts of revenge. In Troy, they find a city torn apart by destructive rivalries - a maelstrom of jealousy, deceit and murderous treachery. And beyond its fabled walls blood-hungry enemies eye its riches and plot its downfall. It is a time of bravery and betrayal; a time of bloodshed and fear. A time for heroes.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku a ko je zobrazená tu.

An epic story begins with a young man's avowal: 'Tell him that one day I shall cut his vile heart out.' The speaker is Bane the Bastard, a Wolfshead living outside the law. Born of treachery, his name a curse, he grew up among the warriors of the Rigante. They valued his skills in war, but they feared the violence in his heart.

Od chvíle, kdy král Connavar z klanu Rigantů a jeho nemanželský syn Rheg porazili vojsko z Kamene, uplynulo osm set let. Nyní Riganti ztratili svobodu a kulturu, za jejichž udržení jich tolik položilo život. Zůstala jediná žena, která se řídí starými způsoby - wyrd z lesa Stromu přání - a jenom ona zná podstatu zla, jenž bude brzy vypuštěno. Vkládá však naději do dvou mužů: obrovského rigantského zápasníka, jehož pronásleduje to, že nedokázal zachránit nejlepšího přítele před zradou, a mladíka, který si svým vražedným nadáním vyslouží zlobu krutých Varlishů. Z jednoho se stane Havran, vůdce psanců, jehož odvážné činy povzbudí ducha Rigantů. Druhý vytvoří legendu - a zapálí ohně revoluce...
