Perfect for you if...

You enjoy retellings that shift perspective to overlooked characters from classical myths.
You want adventure with real emotional stakes: a son trying to prove himself worthy of a father he's never met.
You appreciate coming-of-age stories set in richly imagined ancient worlds with credible magic and danger.

Maybe not for you if...

You need sprawling epic fantasy with multiple POVs and intricate political machinations.
You prefer darker, morally ambiguous protagonists over earnest young heroes on quests.
You're looking for romance as a central plot thread rather than a subplot.

About this book

Telemachos lives a comfortable life on the small island of Ithaka, where his mother Penelopeia maintains peace despite the kingdom's lack of a ruler. His father, Odysseus, has been absent since the Trojan War began years ago. Now the people demand a new king unless Telemachos can locate Odysseus and bring him home. Armed only with a mysterious prophecy, Telemachos embarks on a journey across sea and desert to find the father he has never met.
