Athenian Steel: Prelude to Hellennium (The Hellennium Book 0) (English Edition)

A partnership is born to set the ancient world aflame

Greece, 425 BCE. A woman's body washes ashore on the barren island of Sphakteria in the harbor of Pylos, where a Spartan force sits besieged by the Athenian general Demosthenes. The Spartans' fate is sealed. Or is it? When the dead woman springs to life, more than just one battle's outcome is thrown into doubt. A war set to drag on for another generation might be ended swiftly instead, with victory granted to the side which dares to wield a weapon fallen from the stars, a weapon with a mind and plans of its own. A living weapon: Thalassia.
