The dread warriors stalk and kill helots—like Andreas' father—as part of their training. Andreas sees only one way to save himself: he must tame the fearsome warrior. But what began as self-preservation develops into attraction. Yearning for the company of someone other than his ferret Ictis, Andreas decides to trust the Spartan warrior and risk the fate that claimed his father. Born to rule by the sword, Theron sees the world as his and acts accordingly, taking everything Andreas offers and reaching for more.

Now, only the gods can save them from the terrible price Sparta extracts from men who desire other men. less
