Each spring, Ithaca condemns twelve maidens to the noose.  This is the price vengeful Poseidon demands for the lives of Queen Penelope’s twelve maids, hanged and cast into the depths centuries ago, but when that fate comes for Leto, death is not what she thought it would be . . .

Inspired by Greek mythology, Sarah Underwood weaves an epic tapestry of lies, love, and tragedy in Lies We Sing to the Sea, creating a novel that is perfectly aligned  for fans of Madeline Miller, Alexandra Bracken, and Renée Ahdieh.

"Bittersweet and wholly cathartic, Lies We Sing to the Sea is a lyrical, elegant debut bursting with imagination and heart.  Underwood expertly weaves a tale about the inevitability of fate, and the love that makes us rail against it anyway." -- Allison Saft, author of A Far Wilder Magic
