Dust hangs in the air of Ithaca’s great hall, a pale shroud over a palace held hostage. Nineteen years have passed since King Odysseus sailed to war, and in his absence, the throne has been claimed by brash, hungry men. Among them, Antionus stands tallest and cruelest. He seizes the young prince Telemachus and hurls him to the unforgiving stone floor. Then, with a predator’s ease, he grabs the boy’s collar and lifts him, his smirk a blade in the dim light. He leans in, and his voice, smooth as oil and dark as a deep well, drips a promise that chills the very air.
