Hilary Bailey re-invents the history of the Trojan Wars and tells a new story of Cassandra. Legend has it that Cassandra died at the hand of Clytemnestra, but in this novel she escapes to a farm in Thessaly, and writes her own account of the fall of Troy.On a quiet farm in ancient Greece, an aging widow sits down to write her story. Now that the war is over, and has been for years, and her husband has passed away, and her daughter has married and moved on, she believes it is finally safe to write down the truth of who she is: not Iphianissa of Tolos, a Greek, but rather Princess Cassandra, daughter of King Priam, of Troy.Cassandra's story is a retelling of the Trojan War, from the viewpoint of a young girl, sister of Hector and Paris. In her imaginative and vivid novel, Hilary Bailey recounts the tale of the young prophetess whom legend assumed dead: her childhood tutelage by the Oracle at Delphi; her adoration for her handsome older brothers; and, finally, her escape from embattled Troy. Now, ensconced in the Greek countryside under an assumed identity, Cassandra thinks she's safe to tell her story; little does she know, someone from her fraught past has tracked her down, and she discovers that her story is far from over.First published in 1993 and effortlessly weaving together Cassandra's memories of the war with her present life and the secrets she uncovers, Bailey tells the reader a gripping story of war, love, and human sacrifice.
If you've ever fallen in love with the person you were sure was your soulmate, only to discover the two of you were not a perfect fit after all, it only proves that being in love with the idea of being in love is a path the lonely take; and soulmates are not the same as Spirit Mates, sometimes known as "twin flames." Spirit Mates," are not mirror images of each other or compatible souls. They are two parts of the same Universal energy who planned their life on Earth long before they arrived here.But life doesn't always go according to plan.

Reader Feedback: "What a lovely new storyline of an old favorite. I recommend this book to diehard Pride and Prejudice lovers." ***** As a young man Darcy marries a young woman after a whirlwind courtship, only to lose her in childbirth after a year of marriage. Though loath to join society again, with the assistance of old friends and new, Darcy is once again induced to take an interest in life and move past his heartbreak. Darcy never thought he would be able to find love again, but it is not long before he hears the siren call of a pretty young woman, who is sister to his friend Bingley's wife . . . ***** "Promise me you will care for our girl. She is precious. She will be the light of your life if you let her. Promise me." An ugly sneer came over his aunt's face, and she said in a tone laced with contempt: "Your wife Are you insensible of the fact that the woman perished because she was not meant to be your wife? You were always meant to be Anne's. There can be no other " Darcy's feelings at seeing his sister-his shy sister -toying with Miss Bingley could not be interpreted, but at this point he was forced to actually cough into his hand to hide the laughter which was threatening to bubble up from his chest. By his side, Bingley was in a similar state; he was looking away, though his shoulders were shaking. It was, perhaps, not especially kind to enjoy the set down of another in such a fashion, but Darcy could not repine it. The lady was, after all, most deserving. "Miss Bennet, I have not spoken ere now for various reasons, most of which I believe you must already understand. It is not because I was uncertain about you. It is because I was not sure of myself. Now I am sure. I find you to be the most intriguing and beguiling woman of my acquaintance, and should I be given my heart's desire of a lifetime to study you, I know it shall prove insufficient. But I would like to obtain that opportunity. Thus, do I ask too much in requesting a courtship from you?"

Cassandrassa avaruusalus saapui vieraalle planeetalle noin 20 vuotta aikaisemmin. Saapumisen jälkeen robotit rakensivat aluksen ympärille siirtokunnan ja aloittivat aluksessa sen mukana olleiden ihmisten kasvattamisen. Nämä ihmiset hedelmöitettiin ja kasvatettiin aluksessa aina 16-vuotiaiksi asti vuosiluokittain. Nyt vanhin vuosiluokka on tullut 16 vuoden ikään ja heidät päästetään ulos aluksesta kasvatettuina ja koulutettuina tutkimaan uutta maailmaa.
