This book is an obvious choice for lovers of Greek mythology but I think any reader who enjoys intrigue and drama in an historical setting will find lots to like in this book. This is the first book by this author that I have read but I will definitely be looking for more from her. The story itself has lots of surprises and twists thrown in to keep the reader guessing, until the end, what the final outcome will be. She gave her a depth of character and conviction that the myths, in their brevity, can never convey. Access a growing selection of included Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts. I really enjoyed how the author brought the myth of Helen to life. By Helen's Hand Helen of Sparta, Book 2 By: Amalia Carosella Narrated by: Lauren Ezzo Length: 12 hrs and 11 mins 4.1 (40 ratings) Try for 0.00 Pick 1 title (2 titles for Prime members) from our collection of bestsellers and new releases. Will Helen be able to thwart the will of the gods, or will her nightmares, full of violence and destruction, come true? It is Helen’s hope that the winner will be anybody other than Menelaus, but the gods intervene again and she finds herself in a loveless marriage, desperately hoping that Theseus will return from Hades to rescue her. She convinces her father to host a series of competitions for the men who wish to marry her. She lives with her husband in upstate New York and dreams of the day she will own goats (and maybe even a horse, too). An avid reader and former bookseller, she writes about old heroes and older gods. Helen is still determined to choose her own fate instead of letting the gods dictate her destiny. Amalia Carosella graduated from the University of North Dakota with a bachelors degree in Classical Studies and English.
While in Athens she had married Theseus and become queen of that city. “By Helen’s Hand” picks up Helen’s story at the point where she has been rescued by her brothers from the city of Athens. This book is the second in the author’s series about Helen of Sparta. The Greek demigod Helen comes to life under the skillful craftsmanship of Amalia Carosella.
