A bold and spirited reimagining of the myth of Odysseus, The Worlds Desire begins with Odysseus utterly alone. His kingdom of Ithaca is an empty, abandoned wasteland. His beloved wife Penelope is dead and his patron goddess Athena has forsaken him. The famous wanderer is without kin and without purpose on an island he no longer knows.
But then Aphrodite visits Odysseus and sends him on a quest to find the worlds desire, the face that launched a thousand ships: the woman he once knew as Helen of Troy. Armed with his legendary bow, Odysseuss final journey takes him to a court riven by murderous factions, ruled by a queen who is haunted by dreams of Odysseuss face. . .
