Andromache never asked to be part of a legend. All she wanted was a quiet life - and for a time, in the warmth of Hector's shadow, she had it. Their love wasn't built on prophecy or divine intervention, but on stolen moments, quiet laughs, and the shared dream of watching their son grow up.
Then came the thousand ships.
As a ten-year siege tears her world apart, Andromache watches from the battlements while the men fight for honor, glory, and pride. But she isn't fighting for history. She is fighting to keep her family alive in a city doomed to burn.
A raw, intimate retelling of the Trojan War from the woman who had the most to lose - and paid the highest price.

Between Lions and Men
A modernized retelling of the last few books of the Iliad. History's classic war story, which is actually a love story. How deep does grief run, and what do we leave behind after we're gone?

Brief sexuality, characters are stated to have had sex, nothing shown on page. Characters kiss on page. Some crude dialogue regarding a character's sexuality.

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?Concluída

Achilles is destined to win glory and immortality but live a short and tragic life. Briseis is given in an arranged marriage to Achilles and the two find that their union might be based on more than just politics.

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.Concluída
