Have you heard the whisper of the forest on an autumn night? Have you been sung about war and love? Have you ever touched the body of a demigod with your fingers?

Young Patroclus disappoints his father and is exiled to the court of the King of Phthia. There he grows up in the shadow of the dazzling Achilles, who has the power to change the lives of those around him and, according to prophecies, will become the greatest of the Greeks.
The two boys become friends and are sent to apprentice in the cave of the legendary teacher Chiron. There their relationship blossoms and they vow to stay together forever, but the Fates have woven their own plan.
