The Sorrow and the Sea: A Poseidon and Amphitrite Retelling

A nymph destined to be a queen and the god who’ll do anything to be the king she needs.

Amphitrite spends her days caring for creatures of the sea, desiring nothing more than a serene life of peace and harmony under the waves. When her tranquil existence is shattered by the arrival of the tempestuous Poseidon, ruler of the deep, she finds herself questioning those desires.

Captivated by more than her graceful dancing, Poseidon is wholly and utterly taken with Amphitrite. Overwhelmed by the prospect of ruling as his queen, she flees, leaving her more ambitious sister to take her place. Unwilling to settle for another, Poseidon sends his trusted companion to find Amphitrite and convince her there is more to him than stormy seas and violent earthquakes.

Reluctantly, Amphitrite agrees to hear Poseidon out, challenging him to prove that beneath his stormy exterior lies a heart capable of change. Yet within the opulent halls of his undersea palace, Poseidon discovers that winning her heart may require more than mere words, as Amphitrite’s silent resolve proves to be a force even he cannot resist.

Discover a world where the bonds of family can sometimes be the ties that hold us back from our destiny.

The Sorrow and the Sea reimagines the myth of Poseidon and Amphitrite, an untold story of what it means to let go of preconceived notions and find true happiness.
