*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Patroclus, a young Greek warrior, accompanies his beloved friend Achilles to the war against Troy. Longing to win fame and immortal glory, Achilles sets sail despite knowing the war will bring his death. Patroclus wishes he could stay home, but love for his friend and duty to his country spur him on. Within the city of Troy, a young woman, Aurora, deeply admires the Trojan prince Hector, who fights to defend their city from the Greeks. She wishes desperately that she too could fight beside him. As the tragedy of the war unfolds, both Patroclus and Aurora learn much about love, grief, and courage, as well as about the horrors of war and the virtues it inspires. Along the way, they also come to understand the power of memory and the true meaning of fame and glory.
