The Princess of Ithaca

Everyone knows the story of Odysseus.

But few remember the daughter he left behind.

Over twenty years ago, King Odysseus sailed for Troy, leaving behind a kingdom, a wife and son, and an unborn daughter he didn't know had been conceived.

Now, at last, he has returned.

But Ithaca is no longer the home he remembers. His palace has been overrun by ruthless suitors. His people live in fear. His wife is trapped in the palace he built with his own two hands. His son lives in fear. And the daughter he never knew exists has become their newest prize.

Princess Phoebe Athene, blessed by Athena and raised on stories of a father she has never met, has spent her life protecting not only her family but also herself with her wit rather than weapons. As the suitors narrow their sights on the throne, she offers herself in place of her mother to buy her mother and brother any time she can. What she never expected was the mysterious man walking the streets of Ithaca to be the very same man she had spent nineteen years longing to meet.

As the gods watch from Olympus and storms grow in a way they never have before, the royal family of Ithaca must reconnect before they lose themselves in the dangers of their home.

Some tales end when the hero comes home.

This one?

It begins at the end.

For though the world remembers the Odyssey, another tale is waiting to be told.
A tale of family, faith, sacrifice, and the Princess who has been kept in the shadows of history.....

Until now.
