The King of Ithaka by Tracy Barrett
Telemachos has a comfortable life on his small island of Ithaka, where his mother Penelopeia keeps the peace even though the land has been without its king, his father Odysseus, since the Trojan War began many years ago. But now the people are demanding a new king, unless Telemachos can find Odysseus and bring him home. With only a mysterious prophecy to guide him, Telemachos sets off over sea and desert in search of the father he has never known.

I'm a huge historical fiction fan, and the stories on the Trojan War are always entertaining. Besides, Odysseus is involved! And let's face it: that cover is amazing.
