Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey. If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, then the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of everyman's journey though life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces, during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. In the myths and legends that are retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb Introduction and textual commentary provide new insights and background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles' translation. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the public at large, and to captivate a new generation of Homer's students. -- Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning new modern-verse translation.

Step into a realm where love burns bright, magic cuts deep, and shadows are never far behind. I grew up believing I was Mage—just another girl, waiting for the gods to gift me power that never came. In Irongate, that belief kept me alive. In a realm where Fae, Mages and other beings are hated and magic is feared, being normal was safer than the truth.But it was all a lie.The day my magic finally awakened, everything changed. The life I knew crumbled beneath me, and I was thrust into a world of royal secrets, dangerous loyalties, and power I barely understood. The prince offered safety. His Fae guard offered challenge. I wasn’t sure I trusted either of them.What I did know was that something ancient stirred inside me—something powerful—and angry.I didn’t know what I was, or why the magic felt like it had been waiting for me. But I could feel the weight of it, humming beneath my skin, begging to be unleashed.And deep down, I knew the If I ever discovered who I truly was… the world would burn for it.

This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.
