'The greatest power we woman can own, is that we take in secret . . . ' Seventeen years ago, king Odysseus sailed to war with Troy, taking with him every man of fighting age from the island of Ithaca. None of them have returned, and the women have been left behind to run the kingdom. Penelope was barely into womanhood when she wed Odysseus. Whilst he lived, her position was secure. But now, years on, speculation is mounting that husband is dead, and suitors are starting to knock at her door . . . But no one man is strong enough to claim Odysseus' empty throne - not yet. Between Penelope's many suitors, a cold war of dubious alliances and hidden knives reigns, as everyone waits for the balance of power to tip one way or another. If Penelope chooses one from amongst them, it will plunge Ithaca into bloody civil war. Only through cunning and her spy network of maids can she maintain the delicate balance of power needed for the kingdom to survive.On Ithaca, everyone watches everyone else, and there is no corner of the palace where intrigue does not reign . . .'North's talent shines out' Sunday Times'An original and even dazzling writer' Kirkus'North goes from strength to strength' Guardian'Claire North's writing is terrific, smart and entertaining' Patrick Ness
