The Blurb
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince,
has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son
Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed
prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and
medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the
displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when
word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to
war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear
for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years
that follow will test everything they hold dear.
