A fantastic romance from the impressive new talent Sarah Underwood, inspired by Greek mythology and the story of Penelope's twelve hanged maids.

“A luxurious epic narrative of power, revenge, love, and destiny.”

In the cursed kingdom of Ithaca, every spring brings the hanging of twelve maidens, a gift to the vengeful Poseidon. But when Leto wakes from her death on the shore of a forgotten island, the enigmatic guardian Melantho reveals to her that there is only one way to break the curse. Leto must kill the last prince of Ithaca . . .

In "Lies We Sing to the Sea," debut author Sarah Underwood delivers a triumphant and subversive story that will captivate readers from the first page as they are transported to the cursed shores of Ithaca.

A restoration of a story dating back thousands of years, "Lies We Sing to the Sea" is about love and destiny, grief and sacrifice, and ultimately, the power we must find within ourselves.

“Enchanting, tragic, and timeless, Underwood's 'Lies We Sing to the Sea' makes an ancient story feel new again. This is Greek tragedy at its best: epic in scope yet deeply intimate in characterization. This book will break your heart.”
