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.Point of Retreat:The fact that Layken and Will overcame the challenges that posed a danger to their love is evidence that they were meant to be together. But as they are about to discover, the very things that drew them together might also be the things that end their friendship for good.While Will overcomes obstacles to show his love for her, Layken is forced to question the relationship. What the young lovers learn about themselves while travelling could completely alter their lives as well as those of people who depend on them the most.
