The Troy Game series (Books 1–2) by Sara Douglass is an epic historical fantasy that blends Greek mythology, magic and British history. The first two books follow a group of characters whose lives are bound to the mysterious Troy Game, a powerful ancient magic created to protect cities from dark forces. In Hades’ Daughter, the story begins in the aftermath of the fall of Troy, as Brutus carries the Game to ancient Britain and becomes caught between gods, monsters and powerful enemies. In Gods’ Concubine, the characters are reborn nearly 2,000 years later during the Norman invasion of England, where old rivalries resurface and the increasingly powerful Troy Game becomes a threat in its own right.
