Andromache

"You will suffer pain more terrible than death.

No matter what you do, you can never escape it."

Andromache, the princess of Cilicia. At fourteen, she receives an oracle foretelling that her husband will strip her of her freedom and reduce her to slavery. She trembles with fear, but the husband she eventually meets, Hector, is not only gentle but a perfect man who loves her deeply. Yet fate refuses to leave her in peace. One day, Hector's brother Paris brings Helen into the palace, and that single act drags Troy into the vortex of war. Then, on the day Troy finally falls, Andromache gets dragged away by Neoptolemus, the living incarnation of Ares.

"You exist to receive me."

From the moment he learned of Andromache's existence, it was as though Eros's arrow had struck him, and Neoptolemus had not gone a single moment without wanting her. As the son of Achilles and a hero of war, he leads the campaign to victory and claims the most coveted and beautiful of all the spoils: Andromache herself. Yet even after taking her, he finds the burning thirst and longing won't subside, and the realization throws him off balance. In the end, he makes a dangerous choice to possess her completely......!

"I'll have to try a different approach. She's mine, so damaging her like this is nothing but a loss, isn't it?"
