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.

Eu comecei a ler porque vi muita gente falando do potencial desse livro de destruir seu emocional e como fazia um tempo que não chorava com o livro eu fui de cabeça esperando que nada iria acontecer, mas puts… senhor amado. A história foi tão linda. O final foi tão envolvente que eu senti o desespero do personagem, eu chorei junto com os personagens.
