The world has learned the legend of Helen of Troy, but not her story. Even the name by which she is known is not her true title. She was Helen, Queen of Sparta and she was much more than a pretty face. Delaney McPhearson has been made a public pariah. She barely escaped with her life from Colorado when law enforcement agents moved in. And she cannot take credit for that escape. No, that credit belongs to one man, Drake-Las Vegas entertainer, sabbatical-taking archangel, and consummate egoist. Drake's help, though, is not without strings. He has an agenda too. He knows for Laney to move forward, she must first delve into her past-she must remember her life as Helen of Troy. History has never truly known Helen. For hundreds of years cults celebrated her, well before Homer immortalized her in The Iliad as a woman who turned her back on her family and kingdom for a handsome face. Yet as with many of history's greatest characters, the life of Helen of Troy is more than it seems. Now it's finally time for the most maligned woman in history to tell her side of the story. What Readers Are Saying: "I'll start out by making a promise. RD Brady? If you never get tired of writing the Belial series I promise to buy them as soon as they come out!" "It was robust, interesting, and even sad in some ways. In fact it makes me wish that were the real story of Helen of Troy. It is so much more interesting than the historic version. The author has outdone herself on this one." "I did not expect to enjoy it, as I thought it would be just another long, boring historical novel, which I don't particularly enjoy. Was I ever wrong! From the start, this book grabbed my attention and would not let go - literally. By the time I finished it, I slept for two days, just to catch up on all of the sleep I'd lost while reading the book in one go." "Brady is a MOST excellent historical fiction writer!" "This was by far the best book in the Belial series."
