He survived twenty years of war and monsters to get home to her. After Troy fell, Odysseus endured sirens, witches, and the fury of the gods themselves. But none of it mattered—because every trial, every temptation, every choice brought him one step closer to Ithaca. To Penelope. To the son he left behind. But someone has been watching. Since the beginning. At every stage of his journey, impossible signs three bronze circles carved into stone. Shadows that vanish when stared at. Footprints ending in mid-air. Someone—or something—has been bending fate, deflecting arrows, guiding him home. The Keeper. The one who guards a secret older than the Trojan War itself. When Odysseus finally returns, he discovers the real battle isn't for his throne. It's for his soul. Disguised as a beggar, he infiltrates his own palace—where suitors plot his son's murder and lay siege to his wife. Every step brings him closer to Penelope. But the closer he gets, the darker the truth Does the Keeper protect him? Or does it control him? The most dangerous voyage wasn't through monsters. It was deciding who he'd become to survive. For readers of Madeline Miller's Circe, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and anyone who loves stories where myth meets heart-pounding suspense.
