Welcome to Thebes by Moira Buffini

It could happen anywhere; it could happen here. 

Fresh out of a bloody civil war that tore their country apart, Eurydice rules as the newly elected president of the nation of Thebes. The new government has a mammoth task at hand; reconciliation between the two sides, who have each suffered heart-wrenching losses and colossal horrors.  

As the nation dives headlong into a new, more progressive era, larger and more powerful political players circle like sharks, ready to exploit Thebes for their own gain. This clever, gripping, and haunting political drama marries the machinery of modern war with characters and stories from Greek mythology. 

Laced with witty dialogue and mythological story beats woven expertly into the narrative, Welcome to Thebes asks us to consider the fallout of conflict which feels both very familiar and a million miles away.
