Rhine has written 2 wonderful novels, Horses of Fire which was published in 2023, and Daughters of Bronze which will be released in November.  This is a duology...  a sweeping epic which puts the women of Troy front and center.  We featured Horses of Fire in Season 2, Episode 24, and Daughters of Bronze briefly in Season 2, Episode 31.
