Chasing Odysseus (The Hero Trilogy #1)
Four young heroes in a quest for truth. Myth, magic . . . and betrayal.
The Herdsmen of Ida hold a sacred trust. It is they who have fed the citizens of Troy through all the years of the siege, via the tunnels beneath the citadel walls. Now Troy has fallen, and the Herdsmen are accused of betrayal. Desperate to free their people from the mark of treachery, weak-eyed Hero and her beloved brothers chase Odysseus, wily strategist of the Greeks, in search of the truth.
But the path of Odysseus is plagued with misfortune and peril, and it is through this that they must travel to confront the Sacker of Troy and reinstate the honor of the Herdsmen.
‘In S.D. Gentill’s retelling of The Odyssey, Homer’s hero takes a back seat for the ride as literature’s most famous journey is transformed into a gripping fantasy-adventure series … With its easy-reading style, conventional narrative pacing, running ironic commentary and strong female protagonist, Gentill succeeds in bringing Homer’s ancient tale to life for a modern audience.’ Sun Herald

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
