Overview

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 myth. Andromache's Story is perfect for readers who crave: Fanciful retellings of Greek mythology Relatable, caring women with wit and intelligence An unusual happy ending

""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."" - Melanie Raskin, Author, Producer and Director ""I absolutely loved this story and finished it in one sitting. I recommend it most highly. If I could give more than 5 stars I would."" - Marilyn Findlay ""What I love most about Nancy MacCreery's books are not only the historical aspects, but how she portrays powerful male characters with a side that most do not see: a soft side. I've also read her 4 series books and then this Andromache story, and the theme continues."" - Julianna ""What an excellent book! There were tones of romance and comedy. Highly recommend!"" - Amazon reviewer

Nancy MacCreery is the author of six novels, all with relatable characters that you can't help but root for. Her enjoyable stories balance humor, romance, and intrigue, which may keep you up turning pages, but they won't give you nightmares! She writes across genres: her books draw on her many years in business, and she puts a great deal of thought into the details. Nancy's latest book is Head Over Heels, a quick-reading romance set around a start-up business; it's flirty and fun reading. Her mythology retelling, Andromache's Story - What Really Happened in Troy, brings that ancient city to life, along with Paris, Cassandra, Hector, and, of course, Helen. Told with humor and an ending that puts a spin on the classic myth, it is an enjoyable story for anyone, especially mythology fans. In the Scoops and Schemes Series, the characters have a propensity for jumping into action in situations that are not exactly their business, but they can't help themselves - they are just the type of people who can't just stand by when they see a mystery or a bad situation. If you are intrigued by the challenges of our complex world yet enjoy a touch of irreverent humor, romance and the antics of a group of intelligent, caring, sometimes fumbling and fun-loving cast of characters, these books will offer you a great escape into a world of intrigue, trade-offs, and the crusade against greed and criminal intents.
