Summary
“I won’t let her hurt you.” Achilles was whispering, but his words took hold of his mind.
Patroclus does not know what to say. The line was made; the sides drawn. He had lunged himself into the flames.
“I would burn for you.” His confession spoke for both, unraveling all. His heart dispersed, like the dawning of a new sun.
With the games being hosted in his homeland, Patroclus holds hope that the morale of Opus will be uplifted despite his father’s declining favor. But throughout the tournament, hidden agendas begin to unravel as secret alliances are made and deception is played. Along with whispers of a rebellion group lurking about, shadows from his past come forth and threaten the future for both him and his home. With his sister’s sudden kidnapping and his newfound companionship with Achilles fueling the political upset, Patroclus finds himself having to step into the role of a leader for the first time.
His sister was the light of his life, but Achilles was his soul’s twin flame.
