    About this ebook

    Odysseus as You’ve Never Seen Him Before

    Odysseus, infamous trickster of Troy, vaunted hero of the Greeks, left behind a wake of chaos and despair during his decade long journey home to Ithaca. Lovers and enemies, witches and monsters--no one who tangled with Odysseus emerged unscathed. Some prayed for his return, others, for his destruction. These are their stories…

    A beleaguered queen’s gambit for maintaining power unravels as a son plots vengeance.

    A tormented siren battles a goddess’s curse and the forces of nature to survive.

    An exiled sorceress defies a lustful captain and his greedy crew.

    A blinded shepherd swears revenge on the pirate-king who mutilated him.

    A beautiful empress binds a shipwrecked sailor to servitude, only to wonder who is serving whom.

    A young suitor dreams of love while a returned king conceives a savage retribution.

    The Odyssey Through the Eyes of its Shattered Victims

    Six authors bring to life the epic tale of The Odyssey via the monsters, witches, lovers, and warriors whose lives were upended by the antics of the “man of many faces.” You may never look upon this timeless epic—and its iconic ancient hero—in quite the same way again. In the tradition of Madeline Miller’s Song of Achilles, and with the spirit of Lindsey Davis’ The Third Nero, and Kate Quinn’s Mistress of Rome, A Sea of Sorrow transports you to the endlessly fascinating world of Homeric Greece.
