Magnificent translation of the Odyssey which captures the energy and poetry of Homer's original.

With help from her new friend Orion, seventeen-year-old Helen Hamilton descends into the Underworld in search of a way to break the Furies' blood curse and prevent the start of another Trojan War.

When Helen Hamilton has dreams about three ancient women and tries to kill a student at her high school, she discovers that she is playing out a version of an old tale involving Helen of Troy, the Three Furies, and a mythic battle.

From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera, and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.

Seventeen-year-old Karou, a lovely, enigmatic art student in a Prague boarding school, carries a sketchbook of hideous, frightening monsters--the chimaerae who form the only family she has ever known.
