The balance around Troy becomes increasingly unstable as Agamemnon expands his influence and Priam's court struggles with rivalry, pride and succession. Warriors, sailors and refugees arrive with private motives that soon become part of the larger contest between kingdoms.

Helikaon, Andromache, Hector and Odysseus are forced to choose between friendship and political necessity as raids become organised war. The city remains powerful, but betrayal and competing loyalties weaken it from within while the forces gathering across the sea prepare for a conflict none of the leaders can fully control.
