A liar believed,
A prophet deceived,
The gods' broken King,
Hears his dead lover sing,
And when his Skyfire falls,
It shall burn down Troy's walls.

Cassandra predicted the destruction of Troy at the hands of Zeus before she could even speak. Now, as her family plots to sacrifice her to the King of the Gods in order to appease him, she can't get anyone to believe her: it won't work. Troy is still destined to fall.
Apollo, the Light of Olympus, went dark the day Zeus slaughtered his sister. A new, different god was born: one determined to tear his father's world to pieces.
An unstoppable force meets an unmovable object when the Oracle and the sun god meet. Prophecy, vengeance, and duty cease to mean anything.
It is said that no one, mortal or divinity, can escape their fate.
Lies, secrets, and betrayals contaminate their bond. And when the ashes of the Skyfire settle, what will be left for either of them?

He knows that he wrecked their marriage the first time around. But how can he hope to fix things when he can't even get his wife back onto English soil?
