Beware the Horse — L.F. Luckie

DAGENTYR was a blond barbarian, hundreds of miles from home, doing his best fighting for a strange country, learning a strange language, longing for his home village and the girl he left behind. He believed that the prophecy "beware the horse" referred to his home village.

HELANI was the beautiful princess, with the face that launched a thousand ships. Her insatiable appetite for men forced her to constantly deceive her jealous husband - even though her marriage was the reason for this terrible war.

TRYSTA (better known to us as Troy) was the country, and the horse to fear was the infamous Trojan Horse - with a battalion of Greek soldiers hidden in its belly.
