The Song of Achilles:.The ruthless sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus' son Achilles, known as "the best of all the Greeks," is a powerful, fast, and alluring figure who makes an impression on all who meets him. The awkward young prince Patroclus was banished from his country following a stunning act of violence. By coincidence, they meet and develop an unbreakable friendship while running the risk of incurring the wrath of the gods.When word spreads that Helen of Sparta has been abducted, all the Greek heroes are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her honour. They are schooled in the arts of war and medicine by the centaur Chiron. Achilles joins their cause after being drawn in by the promise of a bright future, and Patroclus, divided between love and dread for his buddy, follows.Heart Bones:Beyah Grim's parents only ever gave her two things: life and a terrible last name. Beyah is well on her way to greater and better things because to the route she carved out for herself.A sudden death leaves Beyah with nowhere to go in the meantime, only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she's desperately trying to leave behind. Beyah is made to spend the rest of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she hardly knows after being forced to use her final line of defence.
