The song of Achilles / Madeline Miller.
Achilles, son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis, and legendary king Peleus is irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond. They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine. When Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, they are called to lay siege toTroy in her name, along with all the other heroes of Greece. Seduced by glory, Achilles joins the cause, and Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the Fates will test them as never before, and demand a terrible sacrifice.
