The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.

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. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.

But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

A must read!

Real tear-jerker and impossible to put down!

A beautiful novel about Patroclus and Achilles and their doomed love, with bold characters and magical descriptions.
The sometimes complex Greek mythology was also explained in such a way that was easy to understand and flowed with the plot.

I have not read the book yet. It is on my TBR but the book came in excellent condition and easily the prettiest copy of all of these that I have seen
