UPDATED TWICE MONTHLY
AUTHOR ON VACATION UNTIL AFTER THE NEW YEAR. NEXT UPDATE WILL BE JANUARY 6, 2025.
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. If you are looking for a story more in keeping with the original poem, this is not that story. Many things will be changed, many things will be unfamiliar, and we are going somewhere no story of the Trojan War has gone before.
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.
