title: The Princess of Sparta
author: Aria, Cunningham
description: The true story behind the epic love that sparked the Trojan War and has captivated the world for 3,000 years...
   Helen of Troy’s humble story began as a Princess of Sparta; honorable, loyal, with promise to become a powerful queen. Given in marriage to Menelaus of Mycenae, an abusive husband who neither wants nor needs her, she clings to a prophecy made to her about a great destiny, and even greater love. That destiny awaits her in Paris, a noble prince of Troy, whose reputation for fairness and fortitude precedes him as an Ambassador. Unjustly cursed at birth by a dark omen claiming he will cause the destruction of Troy, Paris is an object of ridicule amongst the Trojan nobility. He is a man who has never known love. Until the day the Fates intervene and Paris travels to Mycenae as an Ambassador of Troy. He meets Helen, and the bond of two souls linked by a common destiny is irresistible. He is drawn to the Spartan princess, and she to him. But with relations between their kingdoms under pressure, can the star-crossed lovers risk dishonor and war simply to follow their hearts?
