Description
A fantasy romance, by dazzling new talent Sarah Underwood, inspired by Greek mythology and the tale of Penelope’s twelve hanged maids.
‘A lavish epic of power, vengeance, love and fate.’
YA Book of the Month in The Observer (2/4/2023)
’A lovely, lyrical fantasy which takes the fate of the hanged maids of the Odyssey and weaves something brand new. A story overflowing with emotion and full of magic.’
Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne and Elektra
In the cursed kingdom of Ithaca, each spring brings the hanging of twelve maidens, a gift to the vengeful Poseidon. But when Leto awakens from her death on the shore of a long-forgotten island, its enigmatic keeper Melantho tells her that there’s only one way the curse can be broken. Leto must kill the last prince of Ithaca . . .
In Lies We Sing to the Sea, debut author Sarah Underwood delivers a thrilling and breathtaking tale that will enthral readers from the very first page as they are transported to the cursed shores of Ithaca.
A reclamation of a story from thousands of years ago, Lies We Sing to the Sea is about love and fate, grief and sacrifice, and, ultimately, the power we must find within.
‘Gorgeous, tragic, and timeless, Underwood’s LIES WE SING TO THE SEA makes an age-old story feel new again. This is Greek tragedy at its best: sweeping in scope yet deeply intimate in characterization. This book will break your heart.’ – Grace Li Sunday Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief

Lies we sing to the sea is now one of my favourite greek mythology retellings. I loved every moment of this book!! The book follows Leto one of the twelve girls condemned to death that spring, but death isn’t what she thought it would be when she wakes up she is met by a girl who can control the sea called Melantho. There is one way Leto can stop hundreds of girls from being killed to kill the prince of Ithaca. This book was so beautifully written and I kept wanting to read more!!! This book is perfect for fans of greek mythology and is a brilliant retelling!!!
