God's Concubine by Sara Douglass

Description: The Troy Game lives - But can anyone control it?

For 2000 years the Troy Game has survived Asterion's murderous attempts to find Brutus' Trojan kingship bands. Admitting defeat, Asterion must allow the rebirth of the Game's creators ... to lead him to the magical, golden bands of Troy.

Now, two millennia after Genvissa and Brutus founded the Game, they find themselves reborn into a vastly different world, a world where they are separated by the ambitions and hatreds engendered by the approaching Norman invasion of England. They discover that Cornelia has also returned, apparently even more determined than previously to thwart them. And Coel has been reborn at her side, but this time with a sword in his hand.

Yet Brutus and Genvissa's most deadly enemy may be the Troy Game itself. Left on its own for 2000 years, the Game has changed. Become aware. Become manipulative. Become devious. Become alive.

And Asterion, abroad in Anglo-Saxon London, is desperate to find it.
