<div>The Troy Game, Book I<br>Hades' Daughter<br><br>Ancient Greece is a place where mortals are the playthings of the gods—but at the core of each mortal city-state is a Labyrinth, where the mortals can shape the heavens to their own design. <br><br>When Theseus comes away from the Labyrinth with the prize of freedom and his beloved Ariadne, the Mistress of the Labyrinth, his future seems assured. But she bears him only a daughter—and when he casts her aside for this, the world seems to change. From that day forward, the Labyrinths decay, and power fades from the city-states.<br><br>A hundred years pass, Troy falls, the Trojans scatter. Then Brutus, the warrior-king of Troy, receives a vision of distant shores where he can rebuild the ancient kingdom. He will move heaven and earth to reach his destiny. But in the mists is a woman of power, a descendent of Ariadne, who has her own reasons for luring Brutus to this lush land. Her heart is filled with a generations-old hatred, and her vengeance on him will not be thwarted.<br><br>If Brutus makes the journey successfully, it will be the next step in the Game of the Labyrinth, and the beginning of a complicated contest of wills that will last for centuries...<br></div>
