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, the boys become inseparable companions, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something far deeper.
But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy. Torn between love and fate, Achilles must choose between his lover and his destiny — and Patroclus must follow him into a war that will consume them both.
A profoundly moving story of love, loss and the cost of glory.
