Description
Achilles, the most exceptional of the Greeks, is the son of Thetis, a sea goddess, and Peleus, a legendary king. His life is marked by strength, speed, and beauty, drawing him to those around him. Patroclus, a young prince, is exiled after a shocking act of violence, and their paths cross by chance. Despite the risks, they form a deep and unbreakable bond, trained by the wise centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine. As the call to arms against Troy grows, Achilles joins the fight, torn between his love for Patroclus and the fear of the gods' wrath. The Fates have a terrible plan in store for both of them, one that will test their bond to its limits.
