The Homeric Chronicles is much more than an adult retelling of the Trojan War. Using Homer, Apollodorus, Hesiod, Aeschylus, Greek plays and various other sources, Janell Rhiannon follows 5 major kingdoms as a series of prophecies and marriages herald the coming of a great war. The “Paris Prophecy” and the “Golden Apple” stories serve as cornerstones in an elaborate timeline, casting new light on well-loved characters and events. This series raises the voices of both the heroines and heroes of this epic fantasy.
SONG of SACRIFICE opens up a full generation before the Trojan War.

REVIEWS for the HOMERIC CHRONICLES
Stacie, NetGalley Reviewer: “I greatly enjoyed this novel! Janell Rhiannon is a new-to-me author, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect with Song of Sacrifice. But I am so, so glad that I took a chance on something new because I absolutely LOVED this novel! I literally devoured it. The writing was superb, the story was excellent. The characters were unique, perfectly flawed and grew with the plot. The story itself moved quickly, built upon itself and had me hooked from the very first page.”
Chantel, NetGalley and Goodreads Reviewer: “This book is the ultimate amalgamation of everything I love and want in a book. Forgive me readers, if I swoon and fangirl very hard as I write this review. I will try my best to keep it together and thoroughly edit, so I keep my love of this series succinct.”
Maria H, NetGalley Reviewer: “At first I thought the book was a little long, but when I got to the last page I was mad because I wasn’t ready to let it go, and I kept thinking about it for several days afterwards.”
Teodora C, NetGalley Reviewer: “A good book indeed, especially for the mythology lovers! It has a different perspective.”
Pratibha S, NetGalley Reviewer: “For a fan of Greek mythology, this is a wonderful story highlighting some of the characters and their personal motivations and struggles through life. This was a very engaging and beautifully written story. I will soon be checking the next part of the story.”
Zenobia K, NetGalley Reviewer: “A brilliant retelling of the Trojan War. Janell does a great job of bringing to life the characters that we know from the myths and legends surrounding this important event in history. I am a complete history buff and the minute I read the summary of this book I knew I was sold. I love how she brought the female aspect into the story...”
Kirsty B, NetGalley Reviewer: “I adore Greek mythology so I was really excited to read this. It was fantastic! I loved how the author told a well-known story but focused on the journeys of the women as well as the men. It was beautifully written and the details were so rich and vivid. The story is told from many different perspectives but it was never confusing. At times the story was brutal and I thought the author portrayed the Greek way of life brilliantly. Yes, I cried, oh my gosh that one scene (you'll know the scene when you read it) had me in bits!”
Simone, Goodreads Review: “This book made me cry, it made me angry, I felt the breath leave my body when the character’s did. It was compelling. Ms. Rhiannon has a wonderful ability to describe a scene and bring the reader into that place and make them feel, taste, smell, live, in that setting. That’s a rare ability. I’m anxiously awaiting the final novel.”
Jenny, Goodreads Review: “Reading this epic saga of a novel by,Janell, I was totally immersed in a brutally tragic and romantic tale of love and war. This is Greek mythology for adults.”
