Princess Helen of Sparta and her friend, the former slave Milo, have set off on their journey for the golden fleece of a flying ram. Or, more preciesly, to follow her brothers, to prove she can do whatever they can.
But it isn’t long before Helen runs into trouble. She falls for a guy who has no interest in her, she must suffer the loss of a dear friend, she has a jealous woman with a burning love trying to kill her, and a man trying to keep her prisoner. Will Helen be able to find her way home? Will she ever see her brothers or sister again? And will Milo profess his love for her?
This is the sequel to Nobody’s Princess. I really liked it, personally. [Jordan]
When she asks for her fortune from the Oracle at Delphi, princess Helen of Sparta is told “You’re going to grow up rich and beautiful, you’re going to meet a handsome man who’ll change your life, and you’re going to go on a long voyage with him.” The words are not prophecy, but a mere joke. But they do not come even close to describing Helen.
