About this listen

An instant New York Times bestseller—and a legendary YA debut!

This dazzling sapphic fantasy inspired by Greek mythology will captivate fans of Circe and The Song of Achilles.

Each spring, Ithaca condemns twelve maidens to the noose. This is the price vengeful Poseidon demands for the lives of Queen Penelope’s twelve maids, hanged and cast into the depths centuries ago.

But when that fate comes for Leto, death is not what she thought it would be. Instead, she wakes on a mysterious island and meets a girl with green eyes and the power to command the sea. A girl named Melantho, who says one more death can stop a thousand.

The prince of Ithaca must die—or the tides of fate will drown them all.

Sarah Underwood weaves an epic tapestry of lies, love, and tragedy, perfect for fans of Madeline Miller, Alexandra Bracken, and Renée Ahdieh.

This book was haunting and beautiful. The narrators are amazing and if you love greek mythology and love triangles this is for you. A little spice but nothing explicit but it was beautifully written. I cannot believe this is a debut novel and I cannot wait for the film.

I put off reading this book because I liked the author so much, and I didn’t want to not like it!
Lucky for me, this is a really lovely book. The characters are each given such distinct personalities, with flaws that you can’t hate them for.

I met the author at a health equity conference presented her research. I’m really excited to recommend this book for its own merit, but I also want to recommend it because of how the author contributes to the queer community. Not only is she writing stories to inspire hope amidst overwhelm and love amidst healing, she is also putting out impactful research for the community.

A really beautiful book.
