From Library Journal

Believed to be the daughter of a god, Helen of Sparta learns as a child to honor the Goddess rather than the upstart deities of Olympus. In spite of her devotion, however, she finds herself a pawn in a three-way power struggle involving an ambitious priest of the new religion, her jealous sister Clytemnestra, and a priestess of the Great Mother. Concannon's retelling of the saga of Helen of Troy offers a woman's perspective on the events enshrined in The Iliad. Powerfully written despite a few passages of awkward prose, this revisionist historical fantasy should appeal to fans of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon. Large libraries should consider purchase for their fantasy collections.

This was a good book. I recomend it if you like Helen of Troy/Sparta. Also read Inside The Walls Of Troy. It is also a GREAT book.
