Sarah Underwood's YA debut, "Lies We Sing to the Sea," an ode to Greek mythology, will capture the hearts of "Song of Achilles" and "Circe" fans. The rage of Poseidon wreaks havoc on the maidens of Ithaca. Still furious at the death of Queen Penelope's 12 maidens, Ithaca must offer up 12 maidens in repentance. When Leto is selected as an offering and faces her death, what she finds in eternal sleep is Melantho, a girl who offers her a prophecy that could end the suffering of Ithaca's women with the death of one more person: the prince of Ithaca. If Leto does not see to it that the prince of Ithaca dies, an epic flood will destroy the only home she's ever known, and she will lose this girl who lights up something new within her.
