Athens, 430 BCE. The Peloponnesian War and the plague are on the verge of tearing the city apart.
Alkaios is nineteen and the son of a potter. He isn't a soldier or a priest-he's just the guy from the agora who fixes things: broken vases, lost letters, broken people. He always wears a white linen chiton that somehow never getsdirty
One day, he meets Lysandros, a Spartan soldier returned from the front lines. To the world, Lysandros is a hero; inside, he is haunted by nightmares and hasn't slept in months.
Alkaios takes him in. Between them, a quiet love grows: late nights spent talking, early mornings shaping clay. For the first time, Lysandros feels truly free
Then, the plague strikes. Athens falls ill, and Pericles dies.
Will Alkaios manage to turn all that pain into a sanctuary for others?
