Summary
Blood rains from the sky along with divine arrows of the plague, a city threatened by furious armies, the best and worst of all warriors in one place. The most destitute of victims had no power during the ten years the war had raged.
Soldiers and civilians alike are reborn. It is the 2020s and now, bodies start turning up around Athens, with strange notes in Ancient Greek tucked in their pockets. The problem is, if you read the message, the nightmares begin.
Detective Ari Achaea races to stop the killer(s) from taking vengeance on the once old soldiers of the Trojan War. But when his own nightmares arrive, he realizes he might have been the most horrific murderer on the battle field, stricken with divine rage, grief, and no heart...
The unnamed women of the war, like Achilles, will have no mercy.

Summary
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. Although, whether you consider my blood or my heart, I carry two names: Menoitiades and Pelides alike. I am the son of two fathers. Both were kings and sons of kings. The first was given to me. The second I found. During this life, and in place of what I was given at birth, I found myself a family.
In the beginning, there was Automedon and Briseis. The first was born on Skyros, son of a man who ruled the isle. The second was born in Troy, and was ruled by all. Then came Paris and Helen, both home wherever the other was.
But first, before all of them… There was my therapon. I never found the words to describe what he meant to me in common terms. My love, my brother, my friend? I don't think I ever will. He was half of my soul, as the poets say.
My name is Patroclus Menoitiades. I have more fathers than most and missed a mother every day of my life. I was born in Opus in 1984... I shall probably not die there.Bookmarked by Cliffordslarents

Summary
“For a moment I thought lightning had struck me. I had never felt anything like this, this flood of orange heat that bloomed in my chest. It shocked me to my core. Some others came into the room where we were recovering, and Charles (his name was Charles!) turned to speak with them, but I could not look away. What power he had. What insane, unspeakable power. In an instant, he had read my mind, and known everything about me. He had placed himself inside my head. What in the world could it be like inside his? This was something that could barely be imagined, and certainly not comprehended by the men and women of the world (myself included) whose minds were trapped within the contents of their own skulls. This man possessed the stuff of deities- a horrifying, godlike, obscene power.
And he was so, so beautiful.
And I, who had not thought myself capable of such folly, had fallen in love with him instantly.”

Summary
“She’s on top of me,
and it is hot, hot, hot!
She says “Come on,
Sweetheart, take ‘em off.”
So I will take ‘em off,
and then we take ‘em off,
and then her dad walks in-
Oh shit, her dad walks in?!”Bookmarked by Cliffordslarents
