CHAPTER 1 THE SONS OF TROY

The great Trojan warrior Aeneas was leading the survivors in search of a new home. On the long journey, they had faced all kinds of dangers.

Several years had passed since the end of the Trojan War. The city of Troy had been destroyed by the Greeks.

Dangers that had yet to end.

In fact, at that moment their ships were being thrown about by furious winds. The god Aeolus sent gushes of air lashing into the Trojan sails.

I know.

We won’t be able to hold much longer, Aeneas!

We’re in the hands of the gods.
