Black & white title page illustration
When the young Prince Patroclus accidentally kills another boy his age he is exiled to the distant court of King Peleus. There he meets and befriends Achilles, the miraculous son of the King and sea goddess Thetis. As Patroclus and Achilles grow and train together, their bond deepens from boyish friendship to love. But he is Achilles – Aristos Achaion, the best of the Greeks – a man destined to be the greatest warrior in a land of heroes, and a legendary war waits for them on the horizon. Amidst the blood and the fury of Troy, Patroclus will face the destiny that awaits those who dare to love the god-touched.
