Georgia Etheridge | 2 comments I read this book probably sometime after 2007 and before 2011 and it seemed fairly new at the time. I thought it was called blood song but I can't find anything about it under that title - I'm fairly certain it did include "blood". The cover was off-white or very light brown with a dark red irregular pattern across it.
I recall it being sort of timeless/placeless - it was like a retelling of achilles that didn't really incorporate Greek myth/symbology aside from the "achilles heel" idea. The main character was coated in something that made his skin super strong except for one spot that a leaf covered. He came across a mysterious, troubled family that had a lot of power struggles and may have competed for his attention or affection.
I can't remember if it was all very vague and dream-like or if I was just quite young and didn't get what was going on! It was in the YA section of my library.
It was a physical, paperback book and was in English.
Thank you!! This is my first post so please let me know if I missed something!
