Before he was a Legend. Before he was a Monster. He was a Father.
Odysseus, Prince of Ithaca, wants only one thing: to tend his olive groves, govern his rocky island in peace, and love his clever, steel-spined wife, Penelope. He is a man of the earth-a builder, a husband, a gardener. He is not a hero, and he has no desire to be one.
But the world is a mouth, and it is hungry.
When the High King Agamemnon invokes the ancient Oath of Tyndareus, demanding every Greek king sail to Troy to retrieve the stolen Queen Helen, Odysseus faces an impossible choice. To save his infant son, he must feign madness. To save his kingdom, he must reveal his sanity. And to survive the war that follows, he must kill the man he used to be.
From the political snake-pit of Sparta to the blood-soaked beaches of Troy, The King strips away the golden myth of the Iliad to reveal the gritty, horrifying reality of the Bronze Age. This is not a story of gods and glory. It is the story of a ten-year siege that turned a man of peace into the most ruthless strategist in history.
The war will cost him his innocence. It will cost him his friends. But the highest price has yet to be paid.
Troy will fall. But can the man who burned it ever go home?
"A visceral, psychological deconstruction of the Odyssey. Game of Thrones meets The Song of Achilles."
