In the wake of Odysseus' legendary journey, Ithaca stands on the brink of collapse. Telemachus, the son of the famed hero, is thrust into a world of treachery, divine wrath, and mortal defiance. With suitors overrunning his home and his people divided, Telemachus must rise from the shadows of his father's legacy to reclaim his kingdom and forge his own path.
Haunted by the gods and tested by the sea, Telemachus embarks on a perilous voyage to uncover the fate of Odysseus and face the wrath of Poseidon, who demands vengeance for past sins. Along the way, he confronts cursed islands, spectral guardians, and the whispers of prophecy that threaten to consume him.
Guided by Athena's wisdom and burdened by the weight of destiny, Telemachus must stand against both man and god. But as the tides of war and sacrifice close in, he learns that survival demands more than courage-it requires sacrifice, cunning, and an unyielding will to shape his own story.
Shadow of the Sea is an epic reimagining of Homer's Odyssey, blending myth and mortal struggle into a tale of legacy, revenge, and the fight to defy fate. Telemachus's odyssey will test his soul, challenge the gods, and decide the future of Ithaca.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰."

Telemachus is lonely. His mother is always in her room hiding from the suitors, his father has been off at sea since he was born, and the suitors try to kill him any chance they're given.
It's rough.
But then he meets a girl who understands him, who listens. And in spite of himself, he falls in love with her.
