Alexis of Troy (Book I)

ΛUΤΗΘR'δ ΠΘΤΣ

Thank you for reading Alexis of Troy. This page will show the humble beginnings of what has grown to be my most popular story.

This story first started as a novella in the 2021 Open Novella Contest. I can't believe it's already 4 years old, almost to the day! Since then, Alexis of Troy has gone through a crazy journey. I envisioned more to the story, thinking that it needed to be bigger and better, thus the original idea for a trilogy was created. And then it became a duology. And then, everything just kind of spiralled after that. 

I went into this story thinking I'd write a story that was historically true to the Iliad. However, it most certainly IS NOT historically accurate. It was a satirical retelling and there are bound to be plenty of changes to this story.  One thing I learned is that it's meant to be fun, not a serious fantasy novel. 

This story is a piece of fiction and any changes to the characters, setting and plot are for the plot of this story.

I do hope you enjoyed this story and all the wild changes it's endured over the years. This story has been my white whale over the past few years and I am proud of how far it's come. As always, thank you, dear readers, for your continued support. If it weren't you, I don't think this story would have made it quite as far.

The Prompt that started the wild ride:

#43

You've traveled into the past, but you're not sure how. Somehow, you must make it back to the present without disturbing the timeline. However, that's made a little difficult when a character of a historical legend starts to take an interest in you.
