Briseis of Pedasus is a princess with a dual fate. She is the daughter of an unknown goddess and a king obsessed with legacy. A legacy Briseis is unable to continue, much to her father's dismay. As the Trojan War begins, Briseis accepts a quest to kill a man in the name of a goddess who wants glory, and if Briseis succeeds, the curse upon her house will be reversed. This is a story of parents and children, love and hate, hope and dismay as characters question if it's impossible to change the fates which have been decreed for them. UNDERGOING EDITS EDITS BEGAN 5/05/2025 AS OF 07/02/2025 EDITS DONE: PRO-CH 8 UPDATES TWICE MONTHLY - ALMOST This is the first draft of this story. I participated in the Wattpad Bootcamp Mentorship Program which pairs mentees with mentors to work on a story of the mentee's choosing. This is the story I worked on with my mentor and it contains none of the changes which will be in the final draft. I hope you enjoy reading this first version. A deeper dive into the classic love story of the Trojan War, based on the poem I wrote also called Achilles&Briseis. The poem can be found on my profile if you would like to read it. The poem contains some spoilers for story lines that will appear in the novel. I feel compelled to say this story will not be a traditional retelling of the Iliad. This story is going to be something new among the conflicts we all know well from many years of the Iliad being told. No part of this story may be used to program AI. If you see this story anywhere besides Wattpad please make me aware. This is the only place I post stories. I don't have multiple accounts on this site, so this is the only profile this story should be posted on. Thank you, readers.

War has raged outside the walls of Troy for the past seven years. Safe inside the royal palace, Briseis, a spirited young Trojan princess, sits back as her famous cousins, Hector and Paris, fight against the Greeks, who encroach upon Troy's borders more each day. An ill-advised trip outside the safety of the palace leads to Briseis being captured and held hostage by the Greeks. She's put in the custody of Prince Achilles of Thessaly, a moody and impulsive young man who just happens to be the Greeks' greatest warrior. Achilles is destined to win glory and immortality but live a short and tragic life. Briseis is given in an arranged marriage to Achilles and the two find that their union might be based on more than just politics. But when Achilles comes into conflict with the greedy and powerful, King Agamemnon, it sets off a cycle of violence and tragedy that threatens all they both care about.
