Description
Greece. 1250 BC. Peleus ruler of Thessaly leads a fragile alliance of the northern tribes. Alone in his palace he broods on his lost youth and search for the Golden Fleece. His young son Achilles is weak. To the south Agamemnon threatens wanting a unified Greece under his rule. In Delphi the oracle is desecrated. Meanwhile in Sparta the beautiful but ruthless Helen has begun her inexorable rise to power. So begins a chain of events that will culminate in a bloody battle to decide the fate of Greece. This powerful novel tells the story of the awakening of Achilles and his coming of age in the mercurial power shifts of Bronze Age Greece. Providing an inventive twist on classical Greek myth it will appeal to all those with a love of Ancient Greece and the legends of Achilles
