BOOK 1 - Spartan School for War

But danger lurks beyond the training ground. When a secret friendship with Pylos - a brave helot boy - puts them all at risk, the twins must decide how far they’ll go to protect each other. In a land where mercy is weakness and failure can mean death, will loyalty and courage be enough to triumph?

Adventure, danger, and friendship collide in this gripping tale of resilience set in one of history’s most legendary warrior societies. 

When Helen is invited to join her trainer's husband on a boar hunt, she leaps at the chance to prove her worth. But the hunt takes an unexpected turn and quickly thrusts her into a struggle for survival against the unforgiving wilderness itself.

Meanwhile, her brother Lysander is handed an honour far beyond his years: escorting an Athenian runner back to the border with Sparta’s answer to a plea for aid. The message he carries could shift the balance between the two powerful cities - and the wrong step could cost him his life. 

The Hunter and The Herald is a gripping adventure of danger, rising responsibility, and the unbreakable bond between a sister and brother who must grow up far sooner than they ever expected. Separated by duty but bound by loyalty, Helen and Lysander must each face danger with the heart of a true Spartan.
