The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια Odýsseia] in Classical Attic) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The Odyssey is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature; the Iliad is the oldest. Scholars believe the Odyssey was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The poem mainly focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths), king of Ithaca, and his journey home after the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War. In his absence, it is assumed Odysseus has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres (Greek: Μνηστῆρες) or Proci, who compete for Penelope's hand in marriage.

Book 2 in Swapped Fate series. *** Following a falling-out that strained their blossoming relationship, Mavis and Tristan parted ways. Tristan-to search for the ingredients needed for a remedy to cure his brother of the poisonous glispora flower, and Mavis-back home to nurse her aching heart and regain control of her life without the Devereux family. But Lady Fate, unwilling to end their story so soon, thrusts Mavis right onto the path Tristan is taking-literally. Dismayed by her unsolicited reunion with Tristan yet thrilled by the prospect of an unforgettable adventure, Mavis joins him on his quest to find the ingredients. Stuck together, the quarrelbirds must find a way to navigate various lands and work together against the dangerous obstacles on their quest-all the while sorting out unresolved past emotions, coming to terms with each of their past lives, and managing the growing bond between them. It's a race against time to save Adrian Devereux, and a personal, seemingly mutual battle against the intense magnetic feelings that keep drawing the two of them close to each other. Need they even fight it?
