The Arrow of Apollo

Philip Womack

Fifteen years after the fall of Troy, the children of its legendary leaders are still at war

‘An exciting and fantastical story’ Adèle Geras

Silvius, son of the Trojan prince Aeneas, is given a task by a dying centaur. The dark god Python is rising and massing an army of immense power. The only thing that can save the world is the Arrow of Apollo – but it has been split in two. Silvius and his friend Elissa must travel to the land of their sworn enemies, the Achaeans.

Meanwhile, Tisamenos – heir to the Greek royal house of Agamemnon – is facing his own dangers in Achaea. A plot is afoot against him and his father Orestes, and it falls to him to stop it.

When Silvius, Elissa and Tisamenos meet, they enter a final, terrifying race to bring together the pieces of the Arrow and use it to lay Python low once more.
