Summary
Once, there was a golden hero, blessed by the gods, destined to be remembered for millennia to come. At the hero’s side was another, as close as a shadow and just as impossible to separate. In the end, despite the hero’s promises, neither got the ending they wished for.
This is not that story.
When Achilles vanishes the day after he and Patroclus return to Phthia, Patroclus searches for him desperately, only to learn from Peleus that Achilles has been taken by his mother to the caves beneath the sea, and Patroclus is expected to lead the Myrmidons to Troy in his place. But a strange meeting with a traveller lurking in the shadows of the palace endows Patroclus with the blessing of Hestia, in the form of an ember that has been waiting for a proper bearer for centuries. With the gifts newly given to him, can Patroclus manage to defy Fate itself to find Achilles, survive Troy, avoid the ire of the proud and dangerous Greek kings, and put an end to the cycle of tragedy that has plagued heroes for as long as they have existed?
