The Song of Achilles UA - Madeline Miller

Patroclus is an exiled, shy prince with a big heart. Achilles is a fearless warrior, son of the sea goddess. Their friendship begins in their youth, when neither of them knows what they are destined to become. Training together, studying under the centaur Chiron, quiet conversations in solitude all this fosters a bond between them that gradually grows into love. But when war looms over Greece and Achilles is called to glory, a path full of trials awaits them. Their love tender and devoted finds itself in the maelstrom of battles, honour, cruel glory and a choice that will forever change the course of history.
