Aerope is bored, listless, dangerous and dreaming of power. She has a plan to kill her husband, the king, and seize the

throne of Mycenae for herself and her love - her slave Agape - but when two strangers arrive, one of them a man called Atreus - son of Hippodamia and Pelops of Pisa - her life will change in the most bloody way imaginable and a path will be set. 

 

A king will lose his throne, a new House will arise, death, destruction, power and loss will all be brought into being by Aerope's fateful, dangerous choice.
