Achilleova píseň – Millerová Madeline (2025)

Greece in the time of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia, where he lives overlooked in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden-haired son Achilles. Achilles, 'the best of all Greeks,' is everything Patroclus is not – strong, beautiful, the son of a goddess – and their paths were never meant to cross. However, one day Achilles takes him under his wing, and soon they become friends. They train in the arts of war and medicine, and from their bond, something much deeper develops - much to the dismay of Achilles' mother Thetis, the cruel sea nymph. When news arrives that Helen of Sparta has been abducted, the Greek men are called to go to war against Troy. Achilles joins, lured by the promise of glorious fate. Patroclus, torn by love and fear for his friend, follows Achilles into battle, unaware of the cruel trials that await them. This poignant and original portrayal of the Trojan War is a devastating story of love and rivalry between gods and men. The main struggle, however, takes place between ruthless ambition and the human heart's desire for peace.
