    Summary

    In the tenth year of the Trojan War, the Achaeans receive reinforcements from their homelands. During the welcome banquet, one of the newly arrived kings, Schedius, son of Iphitus, leader of the Phocians, publicly humiliates Patroclus by calling him "Achilles’ pórnoi", as it is said in Hellas. His whore.

    Deipyrus, the young therapon of another of the newly arrived kings, on the other hand, finds Patroclus a man worthy of admiration and respect. And perhaps something more.

    Summary

    “Achilles, you know I love you entirely,” I say. “You know nothing could ever, in all the world, change the depth of my feelings for you.”

    I hear the huff of his breath, the beginnings of relief. Something in his face cracks, goes soft, and I know in a moment he will step forward and kiss me, and it will be so much harder to say the next thing once that has happened.

    And so I shift back, take a step away from him, and force the next words out, even though to shatter his hopeful expectations will bring me more pain than even the thought of Briseis in Agamemnon’s hands— “but I cannot stay while you persist in this.”

    --

    Patroclus makes a different choice, and it changes everything.

    "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."

In their world of tragic love and dauntless devotion, where nothing is as it seems and all is so easily torn apart, these fragile and lost souls must learn each other once more, to mend what has been broken before everything is lost forever.
