A beautiful and tragic retelling of the romance between Achilles and Patroclus, told from Patroclus' point of view, starting from Patroclus' birth through the Trojan war
until their deaths
often pondering the tug between their love and the expectations of Achilles' destiny, and whether fame and honor are truly enough to sustain us.
