  • Circe

    Circe

    Mortal. Daughter.

    Monster. Saviour. Outcast.

    Lover. Destroyer. Creator.

    Mother. Witch. Scorned, rejected and at last exiled from her father s house for her dark gifts, Circe arrives on the remote island of Aiaia with nothing but her wits and magic to help her.

    But there is danger for a solitary woman in the world, and Circe s independence and strange powers draw the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. Complicated and wounded, gifted and passionate, Madeline Miller s captivating Circe steps out of myth and into the present as a heroine for our time, and all times.

  • The Song of Achilles

    The Song of Achilles

    Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper – despite the displeasure of Achilles’s mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess.

    But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
