A new, bold, poetic reimagining of the myth of Achilles, from storyteller and classicist Jo Kelen. The warrior Achilles finds himself in Troy, fighting a war that is not his. Following a bloody and tragic sequence of events, Achilles’ lover Patroclus is killed in battle. Achilles, enveloped in an insatiable rage and desire for retribution, inflicts unspeakable horrors upon those around him.
