Synopsis:
The first in a thrilling new historical fantasy series; Odysseus
must embrace his secret heritage and outwit the vengeful Gods who would control
or destroy him…
Prince Odysseus of Ithaca is about to have his world torn apart.
He’s travelled to the oracle at Pytho to be anointed as heir to his island
kingdom; but instead the Pythia reveals a terrible secret, one that tears down
every pillar of his life, and marks him out for death.
Outcast by his family, hunted by the vengeful gods, Odysseus is
offered sanctuary by Athena, goddess of wisdom, and thrust into the secret war
between the Olympians for domination and survival. Only his wits, and his skill
as a warrior, can keep him ahead of their power games – and alive.
When one of Athena’s schemes goes drastically wrong, and the young
Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Odysseus must journey past the gates of Hades to
save her. Falling in love with a Trojan princess, a bewitching woman who poses
a deadly threat to both his homeland and Athena, won’t make his task any
easier…
Drawing from classic Greek mythology, Athena's Champion, first in
the epic Olympus series, is perfect for fans of Madeline Miller and David
Gemmell
