The Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Told through the voice of Cassandra, a proud and haunted seer of Troy, this retelling reframes the events leading to and during the Trojan War as a tragic clash of politics, love, and the suppression of women’s power; Cassandra’s prophetic gifts and the dismissal she endures expose how personal rivalries, male ambition, and cultural shifts—particularly the erosion of goddess-centered religious practices—unravel families and fates, offering a sympathetic, feminist perspective on Helen, the Trojan royal women, and the doomed city.
