<strong>A fantasy romance, by dazzling new talent Sarah Underwood, inspired by Greek mythology and the tale of Penelope's twelve hanged maids.</strong>
<strong>'Gorgeous, tragic, and timeless, Underwood's LIES WE SING TO THE SEA makes an age-old story feel new again. This is Greek tragedy at its best: sweeping in scope yet deeply intimate in characterization. This book will break your heart.' - Grace Li <em>Sunday Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Portrait of a Thief</em></strong>
In the cursed kingdom of Ithaca, each summer brings the hanging of twelve maidens, a gift to the vengeful Poseidon. But when Leto awakens from her death on the shore of a long-forgotten island, its enigmatic keeper Melantho tells her that there's only one way the curse can be broken. Leto must kill the last prince of Ithaca . . .
<em>In <em>Lies We Sing to the Sea</em>, debut author Sarah Underwood delivers a thrilling and breathtaking tale that will enthral readers from the very first page as they are transported to the cursed shores of Ithaca.</em>
<em>A reclamation of a story from thousands of years ago, <em>Lies We Sing to the Sea</em> is about love and fate, grief and sacrifice, and, ultimately, the power we must find within.</em>
