    Summary

    Antinous, youngest son of a mortal king but secretly sired by Zeus, carries a scar from his father’s thunder that marks him as chosen — and cursed. Denied a place in his own house, he sets his sights on Ithaca, believing that to wed Penelope is to crown himself.
    But Telemachus, prince of Ithaca, is no meek heir.

    He sees through Antinous’s hunger for power, hates him for it, and burns with the fire of his own gods. When Athena herself places her hand on Telemachus’s shoulder, and whispers that love and ruin often come cloaked together, the boy who despises his enemy begins to crave him instead.

    Summary

    “The gods will punish you,” Telemachus added. His breath was strained. “They are fond of noble blood. Roman blood.”

    Antinous huffed. “Maybe they do love you,” he said. “Your will, the breath of life. But not enough to save you.”

    No, Telemachus thought. And I’d rather they kill me. Crush me.

    He was rotten anyway - all that purity of a warrior Athene craved of him had decayed that night.

    The gods had forsaken him. In thoughts, in will; do they have hearts, or simply held them? Telemachus banished the thought away. He could only hope his father’s reputation among Olympus had not been sullied.

    Prayers were like a weed. They were devastating. Took up all his mind, because what else was there? Hope, that was. Or faith. The one that curled in his hollow ribs. The one that tore him apart. Every tissue, fiber—.

    “Let me go,” he gasped. His voice was on edge. Fearful. Pleading.

     

    (or: as Roman prince, Telemachus has two choices. To follow the wake of victory, or to die by a certain Goddess' hand. Underestimating an enemy, he falls to the mercy of a foreign prince. And thus, light dies.)

    Summary

    “You’re right.” Antinous cocked his head, the smirk having returned with double the sadistic strength. “Maybe you are just crazy, puppy. Maybe you really are just making up monsters in your head, bedtime stories without a daddy to tell them to. Funny how, even in your dreams, your fears persist.”

    “I am not afraid of you.” His voice gives only the slightest of tremors.

    Telemachus is being haunted by his worst enemy. Only his worst enemy is still alive, and maybe this mysterious ghost isn’t quite what he seems.

    Summary

    Ithaca is rotting from the inside out. Men who deserve to be gutted for their mere existence spend every day as though they are reaping only the benefits of a righteous king. Among all the filthy dogs, however, stands an outlier: Antinous, one of the few who acts with purpose rather than mere carnal desires.

    Telemachus should escape before Antinous catches him—sharp claws digging into flesh.

    He should.
