Athena's Champion: An epic historical fantasy retelling the legend of young Odysseus

A prophecy condemns him, a goddess binds him, but what will set Odysseus free?

A thrilling tale of mythical Greek adventure, perfect for fans of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” who want to know what came before the hero became a legend.

Young Prince Odysseus is about to have his world torn apart. He has travelled to the oracle at Pytho to be anointed as heir to his island kingdom, but instead a terrible secret is revealed, one that tears down every pillar of his life and marks him out for death.

Outcast by his family and on the run, Odysseus is offered sanctuary by Athena, goddess of wisdom, and thrust headfirst into the secret war between the gods. But can his wits, and his skill as a warrior, keep him ahead of their power games – and alive?

Gods and mortals collide in this spellbinding retelling of a legend from classic Greek mythology, the first in the epic Olympus Trilogy.
