Andromache will win you over with her entertaining embellishment of the classic tale of Troy!
Hector’s spirited wife has waited thousands of years to tell her story—a captivating saga of love, loss, friendship, and misplaced trust. Told from her wry perspective, the characters of ancient Troy come alive: Paris, the lighthearted lover of beauty; dependable Hector, the trainer of horses; and Cassandra, whose prophecies are correct but never heeded.
By luck and pluck, Andromache marries Hector, Prince of Troy. She’s happily living her life when his brother Paris brings Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, to the city. Andromache is not pleased to be tasked with helping the aloof beauty assimilate, but through the long years of war, the two women develop hidden strengths that enable them to take charge of their fates.
Andromache’s Story weaves humor and humanity into a tale traditionally weighted down by tragedy, and the engaging narrative builds toward an ending that puts a new spin on this classic story.

Andromache's Story is perfect for readers who crave:

Fanciful retellings of Greek mythology
Relatable, caring women with wit and intelligence
Romance and a HEA

Advance review:
“Andromache’s Story -- What Really Happened in Troy gives us the scoop on the popular myth of the beautiful Helen of Troy, told from the perspective of intelligent, sassy, Andromache, a star-crossed daughter of the embattled city that sacrificed everything for Helen's honor (including their own pride).
This fresh retelling of the age-old story is smart, wry, action-packed, and fun--a page-turner from the start. MacCreery gives us an intriguing inside look at ancient Greece, pairing exacting details of battle, landscape, and culture with wonderful humor and just the right touch of romance. Getting to know the fabled Helen through the wise-cracking Andromache's eyes and seeing how these two very different women's fates are inextricably tangled, keeps you reading long into the night. On opposite sides of the fence (literally!), these women are brought together in a doomed city in an irresistible shared story of war and love, tragedy and adventure, sacking and salvation...and a deep and abiding commitment--no matter what--to stand by their men.
MacCreery's reimagining of the tale of Troy takes some delightful, unexpected twists and delivers a satisfying finale, with just enough titillating loose ends to make us ask, "Sequel, please?!"
