About this Event
This dazzling Sapphic fantasy inspired by Greek mythology will captivate fans of Circe and The Song of Achilles. Sarah will be in conversation with , with the conversation moderated by Bookstagrammer @caitsbooks.
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.
*One book may be brought from home to be signed for every book purchased at the event.
Tuesday, March 7th at 3PM at Our 17th St Location!
