He Chose War. She Chose to Wait. The gods chose suffering. Odysseus burned Troy with a lie. Penelope kept Ithaca alive with one. From the bloodstained shores of Troy to the unraveling halls of Ithaca, Odysseus: Nobody’s Hero is a mythic, cinematic retelling of Homer’s epic—for a new generation of readers. For ten years, Odysseus fought a war he couldn’t win. For ten more, he faced monsters, storms, witches, cannibals, and gods. But the real reckoning waited at home. At his side: Athena, the goddess who guides and manipulates. Telemachus, the son raised by silence and shadow.

Joan of Arc is one of history’s most famous figures—and one of its most misunderstood. This audiobook presents a historically grounded biography that moves beyond legend to reconstruct Joan’s life through trial records, witness testimony, and modern historical scholarship. It is not historical fiction or mythic retelling, but a serious narrative history of a teenage peasant whose conviction reshaped the course of medieval France. Rising from a remote village during the darkest years of the Hundred Years’ War, Joan claimed divine guidance at a moment of national collapse.
