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.

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.

Good Material Thickness and Comfortable
Size: XX-Large, Color: Blakc
I picked up the J.VER Men’s Oxford Shirt, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The seam quality is clean and consistent, with no loose threads or uneven stitching. The material thickness is right where it should be for an oxford. It feels sturdy without being stiff. There was no strong smell out of the package, which is always a plus. After a quick wash, it was ready to wear. The stretchiness is subtle but helpful. It gives the shirt some flexibility without changing the classic look. The softness surprised me. It feels comfortable on the skin and stays that way through the day. Overall comfort is great, whether you’re wearing it for work or a casual night out. A clean, comfortable shirt that fits well and looks good.

Good quality

The shirt fit great! True to size. Only issue for me, it would have been nice if it was longer to tuck in.

Great shirts! I prefer them over much, more expensive shirts!
Size: X-Large, Color: Lemon Yellow
Nice fitting shirt for the cost. Better than most that I’ve purchased for 2-3 times the cost. I prefer these to my Lacoste or Lands End long sleeved shirts! They look/wear much nicer after dry cleaning versus machine washing. I’ve bought five of them now!
