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. By all rights their paths
should never cross, but Achilles takes the shamed prince as his friend,
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' mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But then word comes that
Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped. Torn between love and fear for his
friend, Patroclus journeys with Achilles to Troy, little knowing that
the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
