    A North Wind mythology retelling. Short story and cliffhanger. Princess Orithyia might've been a tough kid bordering on being a bully when she was ten, but eleven years later, living in a cabin separate from the palace, she knows life is harder now, especially as snow thunders down, killing off crops and threatening them with impending death. And one mistake could cost them all. Rankings: #1 in Boreas #2 in North Wind #8 in Athens

But Icarus has come to fear his own kind and must save those he can.

    We've heard this all before. Campfires, school history lessons, and all the movies and books that come about it. You know the myths. The detailing fables. Oh and the little white lies hidden behind the facade that is...lousy bedtime stories. They make up the constellations scattered in the night sky and tell powerful moral stories they say. Everyone has heard of the Greek Gods and Goddesses especially: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. So, unless you're hiding under a rock...you have heard one of the multitude of versions of their origins and stories. You've heard her story...but not this version. Not her real origin story. Heaven help us if we paint the innocent as dark souls. This one is about the goddess of Spring turned Queen of the Underworld. The real, unfabricated story about the Queen of Shades herself. Her story was written in the stars way before she was ever born. This is the story of forbidden love with the Prince of Darkness. The legend of how Kore became Persephone: The Chaos Bringer.

    Kallistrate was never a darling of the altars. Raised in Sparta and rumored to be Hades' blood, she learned early that survival is a craft. Her gifts-hearing the dead, bending shadow, keeping her spine steady-make her a useful problem the gods can't ignore. When she's sent to Ithaca to marry Prince Telemachus, she finds a court rotting under a hundred hungry men and a queen who refuses to bend. Ares trains her at dawn. Athena tests her at dusk. The island's dead crowd her name with pleas, and every rite becomes a battlefield. But Kallistrate is no one's spectacle. With Penelope at her side and Telemachus at her shoulder, she turns custom into strategy: sacred lamps, feast-day oaths, the old challenges that remember who a king is. As omens sharpen and a beggar with storm-bright eyes kneels at a dais, Ithaca's halls brace for the reckoning. A lyrical retelling filled with political intrigue, found courage, and slow-burn devotion, The Shadowed Song of Ithaca asks what it costs to keep a home-and whether a girl made of shadows can write her own ending. For fans of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint, Jorge Rivera-Herrans and mythic romantasy with sharp edges. Content notes: violence; death/grief; gods' manipulation; trauma mentions; court/political tension, mentions of assault (NEVER graphic), men being intimidating.
