Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia. Here he is nobody, just another unwanted boy living in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles.Achilles, “best of all the Greeks,” is everything Patroclus is not—strong, beautiful, the child of a goddess—and by all rights their paths should never cross. Yet one day, Achilles takes the shamed prince under his wing and soon their tentative connection gives way to a steadfast friendship. As they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper—despite the displeasure of Achilles’ mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.Fate is never far from the heels of Achilles. When word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows Achilles into war, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they have learned, everything they hold dear. And that, before he is ready, he will be forced to surrender his friend to the hands of Fate.Profoundly moving and breathtakingly original, this rendering of the epic Trojan War is a dazzling feat of the imagination, a devastating love story, and an almighty battle between gods and kings, peace and glory, immortal fame and the human heart.

Alice, an ordinary young girl craving for adventure, discovers a wonderland in her dreams . . . On a warm summer day, sitting on a riverbank, Alice is bored and drowsy. Following a talking White Rabbit, she falls a long way down a rabbit-hole only to find herself in a dreamlike fantasy world. Running into some of the most entertaining characters in English literature-The White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, the Cheshire Cat, and the King and Queen of Hearts-and being variously mistaken for a housemaid, a serpent, a volcano, a flower, and a monster, all in the breath of a single afternoon, Alice is left intrigued and bewildered in equal measure. If this is a magical world, where anything can happen, how will Alice ever find her way back home? Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a whimsically inventive tale, still enchants the readers regardless of their age, with its exceptionally conjured up nonsense dreamworld and deliciously mad dialogues. It has been adapted into various television series and numerous films. With an enormously influential narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery, it continues to influence and inspire many other works of art even a hundred and fifty years after it was first written. About the author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, best known by his nom de plume, Lewis Carroll, was born in January, 1832, in Daresbury, England. An English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican clergyman, and photographer, he was a man with diverse interests. Noted for his facility at word play, logic, and fantasy, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are his most famous writings. His wonderful ability in the genre of literary nonsense is displayed in his poem The Hunting of the Snark.
