The legendary myths of Ancient Greece and Arthurian Britain are brought together in the search for a prized relic of limitless power born from the love and grief of the goddess Pallas Athena herself. The descendants of the Sacred Band of Thebes – one hundred and fifty male lovers and the bravest of warriors – have sworn an oath to defend the relic and protect it from falling into the wrong hands…an honour shared by Six of the direct descendants of King Arthur’s Round Table of Knights. Challenge comes from the Knights’ own former brethren, the Six that believe in an alternative vision of control and order for the world. Both factions have been at war over the centuries…and now comes the opportunity for each to realise their destinies.
