    "By dread things I am compelled. I know it. I feel it. I sense the trap closing and I see what I am."

    Seven years after the Trojan War and the bloody coup for the throne that led to Agamemnon's assassination, the kingdom of Mycenae holds its breath as the new queen and her lover hold Agamemnon's remaining children captive: Among them, his youngest daughter Electra, who has called on her long-lost brother to swear revenge for her father. But there is doubt; Electra will be killed that night, and her brother might never come. Time is running out.

    Irisa Kwok rewrites the classic Greek tragedy, spilling blood on blood and eschewing the intervention of divine. All we know is this: The House of Atreus is cursed; the gods have set the stage for its fall. One house, one family, one day. What does it take to reveal the brutal limits of human vengeance?
