Lies We Sing to the Sea, the stunning debut novel by Sarah Underwood, invites readers on an unforgettable journey through a realm inspired by Greek mythology. This fantasy romance intricately weaves a tale of love, vengeance, and destiny that is as captivating as it is poignant.
Set in the cursed kingdom of Ithaca, each spring brings a haunting tradition: the sacrifice of twelve maidens to appease the wrathful Poseidon. However, when Leto awakens from her death on a forgotten island, she discovers that her fate is intertwined with that of Ithaca’s last prince. Melantho, the island's enigmatic keeper, reveals that Leto holds the key to breaking the curse—but the price may be higher than she ever imagined.
In Lies We Sing to the Sea, Sarah Underwood delivers a rich tapestry of characters and emotions that will keep readers enthralled until the very last page. This hardback edition is a must-have for fans of fantasy and mythology alike, promising a heart-wrenching yet magical experience.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
