While Queen Penelope waits for Odysseus to return from a war that ended years ago, Daphne grows up alongside Prince 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐔𝐒, becoming his closest friend, his greatest comfort... and, eventually, the woman he loves. But in a kingdom ruled by rumor, love can be twisted into ambition. The suitors call her a siren. They claim she has bewitched the prince, luring him toward a marriage meant to secure a crown she never wanted. As the suitors tighten their grip on Ithaca, whispers spread through the palace until Daphne becomes the target of cruel accusations. The one title she has spent her life trying to escape is suddenly thrust upon her, forcing her to choose between protecting the man she loves and standing beside him when the kingdom needs him most. She never wanted to be Queen of Ithaca. She only ever wanted Telemachus. 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝟕/𝟐𝟗/𝟐𝟔 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐍'𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐆 | 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐒 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | 𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝
