Der Mythos Achill - Modern und fesselnd neu erzählt Achill, Sohn der Meeresgöttin Thetis und des König Peleus, ist stark, anmutig und schön - niemand, dem er begegnet, kann seinem Zauber widerstehen. Patroklos ist ein unbeholfener junger Prinz, der nach einem schockierenden Akt der Gewalt aus seinem Heimatland verbannt wurde. Ein Zufall führt die beiden schon als Kinder zusammen, und je mehr Zeit sie gemeinsam verbringen, desto enger wird das Band zwischen ihnen. Nach ihrer Ausbildung in der Kriegs- und Heilkunst durch den Zentauren Chiron erfahren sie vom Raub der Helena. Alle Helden Griechenlands sind aufgerufen, gegen Troja in den Kampf zu ziehen, um die griechische Königin zurückzuerobern. Mit dem einzigen Ziel, ein ruhmreicher Krieger zu werden, nimmt Achill am Feldzug gegen die befestigte Stadt teil. Getrieben aus Sorge um seinen Freund, weicht Patroklos ihm nicht von der Seite. Noch ahnen beide nicht, dass das Schicksal ihre Liebe herausfordern und ihnen ein schreckliches Opfer abverlangen wird. »Ich liebe dieses Buch.« J. K. Rowling NEW-YORK-TIMES-BESTSELLER AUSGEZEICHNET MIT DEM ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION
