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.All Rights Reserved

Echoes of Olympus by kyenna63

Aurelia never knew her past, her family, or the truth about who she was. Awakening on Olympus with fragmented memories and whispers of a prophecy, she finds herself thrust into a world of gods, power, and ancient grudges. As she navigates fragile alliances and growing bonds with those who hold divine power, Aurelia uncovers pieces of her forgotten identity-along with the devastating role she is destined to play in the war against a formidable enemy. With secrets lurking in every shadow and betrayal closer than she ever imagined, Aurelia must decide who she can trust, and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect the ones she loves. But time is running out, and the gods' enemies have plans that will shake the heavens and earth alike. In a battle where even the gods are vulnerable, one question remains: will Aurelia rise, or will her fate be her undoing? {This story and its plot, along with all fictional characters, are original creations and belong to me.
