After serving three months of a 15-year sentence for armed robbery, Judy's father's privilege allowed him to join the military and then become a physician and medical researcher. Some of his research involved human experimentation on prisoners. And DarRen, at the age of 17, was sentenced to life in prison for murder, with a first possible parole date of 100 years. He has now served more than half his life in Wisconsin maximum security prisons. He has become a Rastafarian and a uniquely talented artist. Judy teaches restorative justice at a small college in Wisconsin.
The ancient gods strived for war, Zeus manipulating the world of the mortals, dictating the realm of man with his delicate touch. But there is one who rules the dead; he is not to be trusted. All is not what it seems in the glory of Olympus. The young Achilles was filled with darkness, his body tainted by the evil that resided in the world of the dead. His future decided by the gods long before his lungs had taken their first breath of air. As a boy Achilles was raised by Chiron and Phoenix, kept safe deep in the mountains of Pelion. But when Trojan assassins came looking for the boy it was time for Chiron to move his treasure to a safe place. They departed for the small island of Skyros where Chiron could complete the young boys training. It was from here that his metal would be tested to its limit, his mind and body tortured as the gods prepare him for glory.
