Summary
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

By far the best performance I've experienced Unmatched narrators.
What kept me on the fence was the love triangle but if you managed to look over it, like I tried to do, It is an amazing storyline.
The curse was interesting to watch as it unfolded, as it was for them to unravel it fully.
I didn't see myself crying at any point of this book but it did managed to pull a couple of tears from me at the end.
The narrators delivered such a heartfelt performance with so much emotion. To me they were perfect for it and I am sure the story would have been lacking without them narrating it the way they did.
I do recommend it, I loved the FF romance.
I appreciated the relationship they had with him for he was precious. The story with his sister left me with lots of fragile feelings.
All in all a great read/listen.
