Scars of Odysseus: Book Three: The Return Kindle Edition

HE SURVIVED THE WAR. HE SURVIVED THE SEA. NOW HE MUST SURVIVE HIS HOMECOMING.Twenty years.That is how long it has been since Odysseus, King of Ithaca, last saw the shores of his home. He has butchered men at Troy, outwitted gods, and crawled through the darkest corners of the ocean to return to the woman he loves. But as he steps onto the sand, he realizes the cruelest truth of all: The war didn't end. It just changed battlefields.Ithaca is not the paradise he remembers. It is a trap.His palace is infested. A swarm of usurpers feasts in his halls, drinking his wine and tormenting his wife, waiting for the day they can declare the King dead and steal his crown. Alone, aged, and outnumbered, Odysseus cannot storm the gates as a conqueror. He must enter as a ghost.Disguised as a beggar in his own home, the man who toppled Troy must endure the ultimate humiliation. He must watch his enemies thrive while he sleeps in the dirt. He must hold his tongue. And most of all, he must leash the "Wolf" inside him—the violent monster he became to survive—because one slip in control will doom his entire family.But even if he paints the halls red with the blood of the suitors, the Fates are not done with him or his family.The sins of the past cast long shadows. From the mist of the sea, a final reckoning is approaching—a legacy of his own making that steel cannot kill.The King. The Exile. The Return.The Scars of Odysseus trilogy concludes in this shattering deconstruction of the myth, exploring not just the glory of the kill, but the devastating price of peace. Read more
