When Odysseus comes to recruit the \"prince\" Achilles for a war against the Hittites, she prepares to die rather than fight as a man. However, her divine mother, Athena, intervenes, transforming her body into the woman's body she always longed for, and promises her everything: glory, power, fame, victory in war, and, most importantly, a child born of her own body.

In love with her newfound nemesis, Helen sets out to destroy everything and everyone Achilles cherishes, seeking a battle to the death. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn innovative spin on a familiar tale, this is the Trojan War unlike anything ever told, and an Achilles whose vulnerability is revealed by the people she chooses to fight...and chooses to trust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52457201402167,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":141.6,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9780063161184-1.jpg?v=1784955101","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9780063161184","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
