Odysseus’s greatest challenge is only just beginning. The armies of Troy have been defeated, and the city lies in ruins. His oath fulfilled, Odysseus can at last sail for Ithaca and the long-awaited reunion with his family. But the gods, who were once his allies, have turned against him. Exiled with the warrior Eperitus, he is thrust into a world of seductive demi-gods and man-eating monsters.

He Chose War. She Chose to Wait. The gods chose suffering. Odysseus burned Troy with a lie. Penelope kept Ithaca alive with one. From the bloodstained shores of Troy to the unraveling halls of Ithaca, Odysseus: Nobody’s Hero is a mythic, cinematic retelling of Homer’s epic—for a new generation of readers. For ten years, Odysseus fought a war he couldn’t win. For ten more, he faced monsters, storms, witches, cannibals, and gods. But the real reckoning waited at home. At his side: Athena, the goddess who guides and manipulates. Telemachus, the son raised by silence and shadow.

On the island of Ithaca, queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband Odysseus sailed to war with Troy and never returned.

Wracked with guilt for putting his own mother to death, he grows ever more unhinged. But a king cannot be seen to be weak. To keep him safe from the ambitious men of Mycenae, his sister Elektra brings him to Ithaca to recover under the protection of Penelope.

If Odysseus is doomed to never reach the safe harbour of his people, he must find a way to bring the Ithaca to him. And so his real journey begins, not through space, but deep into time itself.
