In ancient Sparta during the Second Messenian War, two women, one beautiful and one ugly, are captured and enslaved in the same raid. This is the story of how each responds to their new situation and the women they meet in Sparta.

Niobe's beauty is so great that it captures the attention of the Messenian leader, Aristomenes. He makes her a cherished concubine-until the Spartan "Scourge of Messenia," Agesandros, captures Aristomenes' palace. Niobe suddenly finds herself a slave, and the spoils of the Spartan prince Anaxilas.

Unlike the beautiful and coveted Niobe, Mika is so disfigured by warts that her own uncles sold her into slavery. She becomes the spoils not of a prince but of Agesandros' squire, Leon, a slave himself. He sends her back to serve his master's wife, Alethea, in Sparta.

While Niobe provokes the hostility of the Spartan Queen; Mika encounters the kindness of Alethea, and her beautiful but spirited daughter, Kassia. Soon Anaxilas turns his affections from Niobe to Kassia, while Mika falls hopelessly in love with Leon, and Leon covets only the affection of Niobe.

This book picks up where "Are They Singing in Sparta?" left off, and although the novel revolves around unrequited love on all sides, it is really a reflection on what beauty is and how it affects human interactions-with a surprise ending.

The pink is darker than the image portrays
Color: Infinite Pink
The pink color is significantly darker than the image shows. It’s like a dark red rose color in real life, not so much a hot pink like the listing shows

Still A Fossil Fan
Color: Black, Color: Black
I have been a fan of Fossil products for many years. When I needed a new wallet I was happy to have found this style on Amazon. I travel fairly often so I knew that I wanted a leather wallet that had a removeable hand strap, ample card storage, and a zip closure. This wallet was exactly what I was looking for. The strap is sturdy and zipper is really smooth. The inside of the wallet is very roomy, with multiple pockets (my samsung phone fits inside). There are also two zipper sections (one interior and the other exterior). There are also several places for your ID, cards, etc. I have been using this wallet for over a yearit now and I must say that it has held up really well. There are no pulls/ tears in the stiching or issues with the strap and the zippers still work like new. It's a great option to have on those days when you just don't feel like carrying around a handbag. I would definitely buy this item again.
