Lavinia

Ursula Le Guin - 2010

Overview

Lavinia, daughter of King Latinus, finds herself at a crossroads. Unlike Helen of Sparta, her war is not one of capture but of choice. Destined to marry King Turnus, she instead dreams of the legendary Aeneas, a hero whose past is revealed to her through a prophetic vision. This encounter sets her on a path to choose her own fate and man, even if it means igniting a conflict.
