About This Book
What if love was not enough to bring someone back?
In Orpheus and Eurydice, Jocasta revisits the ancient myth of devotion and loss—where music could soften death, but doubt could destroy everything.
Orpheus, a gifted musician, descends into the underworld with a single hope: to reclaim the woman he loves. Eurydice, caught between worlds, becomes more than a memory—she becomes a question. A test. A silence that grows louder with every step back to the living.
But love, when burdened by fear, begins to fracture.
Told in a voice that is both delicate and piercing, this retelling strips the myth down to its emotional core. It is not just a story of love—it is a story of trust, hesitation, and the irreversible moment that defines both.
A quiet, haunting narrative for readers who believe that the deepest tragedies are not loud—but whispered.
About the Author
Jocasta
Jocasta is a contemporary storyteller drawn to the quiet intensity of human emotion and the timeless pull of myth. Her writing bridges the ancient and the modern, reimagining classical narratives through a deeply personal and introspective lens. With a voice that is both lyrical and restrained, Jocasta explores themes of love, loss, memory, and the fragile boundary between hope and despair. Her work often lingers in the spaces where words fall short—where silence speaks, and where longing becomes a language of its own. “Orpheus and Eurydice” marks her debut, offering readers a haunting return to one of mythology’s most enduring love stories—retold with intimacy, vulnerability, and quiet power.
