The Hero's Iliad

By Amelia Arvie

Venna is a girl of shadows-a thief surviving on scraps in a world carved for heroes. When she meets Achilles, brilliant and destined for glory, she finds herself on a path to Mount Pelion, where she trains to become a hero. Although she was never meant to be part of his story, Venna cannot help but be drawn to Achilles-until the Gods whisper a cruel fate: if Achilles fulfills his destiny and slays Hector of Troy, Venna's life will end.

When Helen of Sparta is taken, the world erupts into a war, and Venna must choose to either stand behind the greatest warriors history will remember or fight for a future written on her own terms. When the fires of war ignite, Venna follows Achilles to Troy, where she watches the boy she knew vanish into a man hollowed by pride and crowned by death.

As blood spills and glory blazes, legacy and love collide, forcing Venna to face the truth.

Only one hero can survive this tale.
