What is it to be a priestess and a queen but a life of service to the people and the gods? Historic legend tells us Hercules stole the Golden Girdle of War from the Amazon Queen, Hippolyte, at the command of King Eurytheus. Once it was taken back to Mycene - the trail grows cold. In BLOODCUP the young warrior-priestess Aekhosora seizes command in the aftermath of that bloody theft to lead the army of her people on a vengeful journey south to recover the girdle. Plunging into the marshes of the Danube, through Thrace, past Mount Olympus, with only a brief stop at Delphi, they march on Theseus and all but take Athens before they continue south to death and slavery at Megara. Suffering the whims of slavery, she struggles to stay true to her god, her goal and the man who takes her home, a man who finds himself the master of a queen striving to restore a lost and scattered people.

If he follows her home, does she have to keep him? The half-elven Daleena agrees to be the Dragonlord's consort, unaware she's going to be bound to a magical jewel that's stuck inside the hero who insists on rescuing her. Joren, a hero for hire, agrees to one last job before he retires. He didn't count on being cursed with a magical jewel, or that the lady isn't a lady but only wants to be a lady, and doesn't want to be rescued from the dragon...or does she? Given the chance to attain all she's never dared to dream of, will Daleena throw it away, choosing instead to wander alongside her hero?
