Opis

Troy: Lord of the Silver Bow is the opening novel of David Gemmell’s Troy trilogy, a reimagining of the events leading up to the Trojan War. The story follows Helikaon, known as the Lord of the Silver Bow, a feared and brilliant warrior‑sailor whose reputation inspires both admiration and terror across the Great Green. Haunted by a violent past and driven by a fierce sense of loyalty, he becomes entangled in the rising tensions between Mykene aggression and the fragile alliances surrounding Troy. Parallel to his journey, Andromache—strong‑willed, intelligent, and bound by duty—travels toward a destiny that will tie her life to Troy’s fate. As political intrigue deepens, betrayals multiply, and old grudges resurface, the characters are drawn into a world where honor clashes with ambition and survival demands difficult choices. Gemmell blends myth with gritty realism, creating a sweeping tale of heroism, love, and looming war, where legendary figures are portrayed as complex, flawed, and deeply human.
