Torn from Troy: Odyssey of a Slave

Torn from Troy reimagines Homer's Odyssey through the perspective of Alexi, a fifteen-year-old Trojan boy who is orphaned and enslaved by Odysseus after the Trojan War. The novel explores his evolving relationship with his captors and his journey of bravery, quick thinking, and self-discovery amidst dangerous adventures on the seas. Blending historical realism and mythology, it offers a compelling story that appeals especially to teen boys, while standing on its own as the first entry in the Odyssey of a Slave trilogy.
