A New York Times Bestseller
A reimagining of The Iliad unlike any other, The Song of Achilles is a stunning, profoundly moving tale of love, destiny, and war.
Greece in the Age of Heroes. A young prince, Patroclus, is exiled to the court of King Peleus, where he meets Achilles—the brilliant, golden warrior fated for immortal fame. Their bond deepens into something more, but when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is drawn into the siege of Troy, and Patroclus follows. As war rages, their love is tested by prophecy, pride, and the will of the gods.
From the bestselling author of Circe, Madeline Miller delivers an unforgettable, breathtaking epic that brings the legend of Achilles to life.
“A book I could not put down.” —Ann Patchett
