WINNER OF THE ORANGE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION THE INTERNATIONAL SENSATION A SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Captivating' DONNA TARTT 'I loved it' J K ROWLING 'Ravishingly vivid' EMMA DONOGHUE Greece in the age of heroes. 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.

  • Great read!

    This book is very easy to read. I gobbled it up in just a couple of days. I think I preferred Circe, on the whole, but this book is still very compelling and enjoyable.

  • Worth it!

    Really good condition despite being used. Makes me more comfortable actually, since I don't have to worry about bending the spine of the book! Really amazing book I've been meaning to read for a while. Thank you so much for the message inside too!

  • A good, quick read

    This is Greek mythology-lite but it's great for a quick, compelling read with interesting characters.

  • A book worth reading!

    A well-written account exploring the lives and characters of some of the best-known characters from the Trojan wars. The narrative is very engaging; personalities are clearly formed within a style which develops a sense of the magnitude of events generated by a series of seemingly small actions.

  • Imaginative warm and compelling

    Couldn’t put this book down. The characters were compelling and they stayed with me after. I could easily read this book again, it was completely different to any other book I’ve ever read. A wonderful warm read

  • A Must-Read

    Arrived in perfect condition, bar some cracking of the spine which is to be expected. This book was so compelling that I read it in one sitting. It's become my favourite book and now, not only a week or so later, I'm rereading it.
