During the time of the Late Roman Republic, Achilles Aristides, a young aristocrat and skilled lyre-player from Paphos finds his life thrown into confusion when, voyaging from Cyprus to Delphi to take part in the Pythian Games, he is captured by pirates, sold and separated from his lover Hippothous.
He finds himself the slave of decadent Roman poet Gaius Manlius Torquatus, a sensitive soul, who must struggle with the conflicting demands and desires of his nature.
Achilles' radical change in status from respected citizen to personal property forces him to struggle to redefine his threatened sense of self and ultimately to question what it is to be free.
Meanwhile, his lover Hippothous is facing his own perilous adventures and is determined to find and save Achilles at any cost.
