Anaxandra is taken from her birth island at age 6 by King Nicander to be a companion to his crippled daughter, Princess Callisto. Six years later, her new island is sacked by pirates and she is the sole survivor. Alone with only her Medusa figurine, she reinvents herself as Princess Callisto when Menelaus, great king of Sparta, lands with his men. He takes her back to Sparta with him where Helen, his beautiful wife, does not believe that the red-headed child is Princess Callisto. Although fearful of the half-mortal, half-goddess Helen, Anaxandra is able to stay out of harm’s way—until the Trojan princes Paris and Aeneas arrive. Paris and Helen’s fascination with each other soon turns to passion and plunges Sparta and Troy into war. Can Anaxandra find the courage to reinvent herself once again, appease the gods, and save herself?

In Caroline B. Cooney’s epic tale of one girl’s courage and will to survive, Anaxandra learns that home is where you make it and identity goes deeper than just your name.

Compelling young adult tale told in the first person by a kidnapped girl in Helen of Troy's merciless household.

I really liked this book! It was a little confusing and hard to follow at times and there's a lot of names to keep track of. I loved at the end how her hair grows back and she gets to go to Eunus the man that she loved

I very much enjoyed this book although historical fiction it had many facts. Story was captivating and never boring I finished it into nights.

I had to read this for school. At first I found boring and confusing but then it became intense,action packed! There are many plot twists and I'd advise anyone to take a journey with Anaxandra :)

One of the best stories I've read. Wish the author would do a follow up on the the main character. Well worth the money.
