She rose from the sea naked and bathed in moonlight. This was Phaedra, a woman of Sparta and a siren who could easily lure a man into dangerous waters. Alexander of Athens admired her from a distance - until she stumbled across his hidden skiff and jeopardized the secret mission he and his lieutenant were engaged in. Forced to take her captive to avoid discovery deep in enemy territory, he carries her to Athens. As proud as she is stubborn, Phaedra refuses to yield to the golden-haired warrior who teases and tempts and torments her in equal measures. Then Sparta besieges Athens, Alexander captains a trireme in a sweeping sea battle, and a pestilence far more deadly than war threatens the tenuous but passionate bond Phaedra and Alexander have forged.
