Hardcover.
Troy has fallen. After 10 years of war, the Greeks make their way back to their own lands – but what homes now await them?

Meanwhile, Odysseus has angered the god Poseidon and he is cursed to wander the seas, facing angry monsters and possessive demi-gods as he attempts to return to Ithaca and his patient, clever wife Penelope.
