Description

The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.

Clytemnestra — The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon; her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. Her husband raises a great army against Troy and is determined to win, whatever the cost.

Cassandra — Princess of Troy, cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall.

Elektra — The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. But can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence?
