Step into the timeless epic of Homer’s The Odyssey, where myth and destiny collide. Packaged in a stunning foiled cover.

Follow legendary Odysseus, a king and hero forged in the fires of the Trojan War, as he embarks on a long and perilous journey that will push him to his limits. This is no ordinary voyage, though, as he and his crew find themselves on islands where mortals were never meant to tread.

There are mythical creatures to battle at every turn – from the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus to the spellbinding Sirens who wish to lure and deceive. And with each storm, sent by vengeful Poseidon, Odysseus must remember the real reason for this journey: home.

His kingdom of Ithaca is under threat from those who are convinced their king has been lost in war. His wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, cling to hope, waiting for his return. Odysseus must rise to reclaim what is his and prove that no distance and no god can stand between a hero and his destiny.
