What if Odysseus was...curious, about the Princess of Troy somehow catching onto his plan even if nobody listened to her? What if he, out of remorse for his actions, decided to keep her safe from the other Greeks and offer to bring her to his own home, after destroying hers? What if she didn't forgive him, for what his armies did to her family, and what he had done to her infant nephew?
But then, what if she realizes that Odysseus of Ithaca might just be the only person in the world who has ever believed in her?
Would Odysseus still be fated to the same dark path? Or would having Cassandra by his side allow the story to change?

Honeyed Storm: The Epic of (Name)"
In the age of heroes, gods, and war, the world forgot her name. Born under a bleeding moon, (Name) was the divine child of Nyx, goddess of night, and Aether, god of upper air and light-an impossible union never meant to happen. To hide the shame of their union, the gods misplaced her thread in the Loom of Fate. She was cast down to the mortal world, raised in the shadows as a girl with eyes like galaxies and power she never asked for. But fate doesn't forget. It waits. It obsesses. As a young woman, she marries Odysseus and Penelope in secret-three hearts bound in a rare and sacred union. When war calls Odysseus to Troy, (Name) defies every expectation and joins him, setting sail as his equal, his protector, and unknowingly, the object of everyone's unraveling. On this journey, (Name) becomes the eye of a storm she never meant to summon: • Gods fall in love with her. And not gently. • Demigods chase her like moths to divine flame. • Monsters let her live when they should have killed. • Penelope, back in Ithaca, becomes possessive and wrathful in her longing. • Odysseus loses battles from jealousy alone, afraid someone will touch what's his. Even the world itself seems to shift toward her: Islands tilt. Winds wail. The stars blink in rhythm with her breath. As the crew dwindles-not from war, but from obsession-fueled madness-(Name) begins to uncover the truth: The gods are not simply in love. They are desperate. The Loom of Fate has started unraveling because her misplaced thread has warped destiny itself. If she doesn't confront her origins... If she doesn't choose what she wants... The world may rip itself apart trying to possess her.Complete

Laurel and Bone
-"She'll ruin you! She'll bring you to your knees." His answer was a prayer, murmured above me. "Even better."- ~A tale of oaths, and the people who break them~ Cassia Aurelius is a thief, an orphan, and a girl who made a terrible mistake... she ate Fae food. Now she's trapped in a realm of beautiful half-truths disguised as mercy, where the price of survival is combat. Forced into deadly trials before a crowd of merciless Fae, Cassia fights to keep her life, unaware that the game was never meant for her to win. When a dashing Fae Lord steps in to save the hapless human girl, she sees no way to live long enough to find her way home, except his unwanted offer of marriage. This Lord had his own reasons for this chivalry, however. She was not to be a bride, but a key. Hunted, terrified, and betrayed, Cassia finds an unlikely ally in the court of her betrothed. One with secrets that echo her own... one who leads her to a reclusive and broken Fae Lord who sees the darkness she hides. As war brews and ancient magic stirs, love becomes a weapon. Cassia must decide who to trust before she loses more than her home and freedom. In the Fae realm, looks can be deceiving. And after a life of hot and cold, Cassia isn't certain she can trust a "just right".

Cuenta, Musa, la historia del héroe que vagó tanto tiempo después de asolada la ciudad de Troya por sus enemigos. Así ha de rezar aquel poema que narra los horrores que un hombre hubo de soportar por volver con aquellos a quienes más anhelaba, mientras que zarpaba de isla en isla buscando el camino a casa, año tras año su hogar se llenaba de nobles, pretendientes por la mano de su esposa que la tomaban por viuda, asechándola a ella y a su pobre hijo. Pero este es un poema distinto. ¿Y si Odiseo hubiera vuelto a Itaca al terminar la guerra? Ya no habrían pretendientes que asecharan a su esposa y su trono, ¿Verdad? ¿Podria su hijo Telémaco vivir en paz al fin? .......................................................... Tell, Musa, the story of the hero who wandered for so long after the city of Troy was devastated by its enemies. This is how that poem should read that tells of the horrors that a man had to endure to return to those he most longed for, while he set sail from island to island looking for his way home, year after year his home was filled with nobles, suitors for the hand of his wife who took her for a widow, stalking her and her poor son. But this is a different poem. What if Odysseus had returned to Ithaca after the war? There would no longer be any suitors to prey on his wife and his throne, right? Could his son Telemachus live in peace at last?Complete

This boy was Odysseus and the future king of Ithaca. Aika was tasked with watching over him as he journeyed to war. But as they journeyed back after 12 long years to Odysseus' kingdom, many obstacles block his path. In turn after a small moment of mercy, Athena abandons Odysseuss to fight alone.
