The End Crowns All

The End Crowns All is Bea Fitzgerald’s feminist YA retelling of the Trojan War, told through Cassandra and Helen. When Apollo gives Cassandra prophecy but curses her so no one believes her, she foresees a woman whose arrival will bring Troy to ruin; that woman is Helen, who has escaped Sparta for love but finds danger and court politics in Troy. As war approaches, the two women confront fate, power, desire, and a slow-burn connection that could reshape the story history tells about them.
