Helikaon, prince of Dardania and master of the great ship Xanthos, is admired as a trader and feared as the Lord of the Silver Bow. His voyages connect him to Troy, its royal family and the rival kingdoms whose ambitions are turning the Aegean into a field of conflict.

His bond with Andromache and his enmity with powerful Greeks pull personal loyalty into the path of war. Raids, assassination and prophecy gather around Troy, while Helikaon must decide whether he is a prince, merchant or destroyer when each identity demands a different allegiance.
