The Purple Quest

Description:

A proud Phoenician prince fights to protect his people from ambitious enemies--and to save himself from the unwelcome glory of marriage to the legendary Queen Dido. His weapons are courage and a sailor's skill--his only ally, Hera, an incredibly beautiful Grecian girl, who owes him even more than her life. With the clash of swords and the thrust of spears, *The Purple Quest* builds to an exciting climax in the city of Tyre and aboard the ships that for five hundred hears had carried Phoenicians to the farthest corners of the world.
