Helicaón, the protagonist of this novel, who will go down in history as Aeneas, is a lucid, agile and strong warrior, feared both at sea and on dry land. Destiny makes him the hero of one of the most epic and violent episodes in history, a feat that will shake the world. In this first volume of the trilogy, Helicaon sets sail on the Xanthus to help his Trojan allies, who are living in turbulent times, and during the voyage he meets Andromache, who is heading to the city to marry against her will Hector, the son of King Priam. However, Agamemnon has been warned by an oracle of the danger that Helicaon may pose to him and will do everything possible to prevent him from reaching Troy alive. The Silver Bow is the first installment of the epic Warriors of Troy trilogy, the latest work from the acclaimed author of Legend, praised by the great masters of the genre. The undeniable appeal of the recreated events, combined with Gemmel's expressive power in the narration of actions and scenes, results in one of the best combinations of history and fantasy that can be read today. The way in which Gemmel plays with history, mythology and the recreation of a society has no possible comparison and turns this cycle into one of the most interesting works of recent decades.
