Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

As a small business, we believe it is our responsibility to always have sustainability in mind.

The joy of being small is that every decision is our own to make - what materials go into our products, what packaging we choose, what businesses we buy from and who we choose to stock.

We can’t afford a lot of the volume discounts that mean these choices don’t impact us financially, but this is part of why we price ourselves the way we do, as it’s the right thing to do.
