"In what forge but that of war can we otherwise hope to craft the dream?"
Autumn is a good time for wandering, for adventure ... and for a little history lesson. Assassin's Creed: Odyssey hit the markets as a highly-anticipated prequel to the game series, and eventually got an official novelization. While it may not be as diverse in plot as the game itself (there's NO way to smush it all in there!) it's still worth a read for the action, the heat of Ancient Greece, and because the eagle Ikaros is waiting.
You do NOT want to keep him waiting!
They call her misthios--mercenary--and she will take what she is owed.
Kassandra was raised by her parents to be fierce and uncaring, the ideal Spartan child, destined for greatness. But when a terrible tragedy leaves her stranded on the isle of Kephallonia, near Greece, she decides to find work as a mercenary, away from the constraints of Sparta.
