Greece in the age of heroes.
Patroclus, an exiled prince, grows up alongside the golden Achilles and follows him to the war at Troy. A retelling of the Iliad that turns legend into a love story, told with luminous, aching prose.
I knew how it would end and it still broke my heart. Achingly beautiful from the first page to the last.
