Thetis, wild, independent, daughter of the Aegean Sea, is due to give birth to a warrior prince who will put his father's fame in shadow. King Peleus is untroubled by the prediction. He only hopes for a healthy son and heir for prosperous Thessaly.
Disturbed by news of an alliance between Agamemnon and the realms of Southern Greece, and rumours of approaching war. Peleus secretly begins to build an impressive fleet of warships, and recruits men to train as Thessaly's elite fighting force, the Myrmidon. A legacy for his son Achilles, who will one day have to fight a war, the likes of which have never been seen.

Tales of the Greek heroes of myth, legend and local folklore, are woven into the story of a young Achilles and his eternal companion Patroclus. Meanwhile the fates follow their own agenda. Contriving the conception of the Child of a Dream, who will carry the embers through the dark ages to come after the age of heroes has ended, and reignite the flame that will become the glory that was Greece.
