Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'An exciting, sexy, violent Superman version of The Iliad' \u003ci\u003eGUARDIAN\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Sexy, dangerous, mystical' BETTANY HUGHES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Beautifully descriptive and heart-achingly lyrical' \u003ci\u003eDAILY MAIL\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMadeline Miller is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Achilles\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Orange Prize for Fiction 2012, was shortlisted for the Stonewall Writer of the Year 2012, was an instant \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller, and was translated into twenty-five languages.
