'CLAIRE NORTH BRINGS A POWERFUL, FRESH AND UNFLINCHING VOICE TO
ANCIENT MYTH' Jennifer Saint, author of Sunday Times bestseller
AriadneFollowing the critically acclaimed Ithaca and House of
Odysseus comes the final novel in Claire North's Songs of Penelope
trilogy - an exquisite, gripping tale that breathes life into
ancient myth. This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife
of Odysseus, as it has never been told before.Many years ago,
Odysseus sailed to war and never returned. For twenty years his
wife Penelope and the women of Ithaca have guarded the isle against
suitors and rival kings.But peace cannot be kept forever, and the
balance of power is about to break . . .A beggar has arrived at the
Palace.Salt-crusted and ocean-battered, he is scorned by the
suitors - but Penelope recognises in him something terrible: her
husband, Odysseus, returned at last. Yet this Odysseus is no hero.
By returning to the island in disguise, he is not merely plotting
his revenge against the suitors - vengeance that will spark a civil
war - but he's testing the loyalty of his queen.Has she been
faithful to him all these years? And how much blood is Odysseus
willing to shed to be sure?The song of Penelope is ending, and the
song of Odysseus must ring through Ithaca's halls. But first,
Penelope must use all her cunning to win a war for the fate of the
island and keep her family alive, whatever the cost . ..Praise for
