Apollo's radiance is a lie. Beneath the godly glow and piercing blue gaze, he nurses a secret, searing passion for Hermes—the quick-witted, flirtatious deity whose care is as annoying as it is captivating. Meanwhile, the mortal Prince Crocus, all handsome devotion, finds his world defined by the trickster's smile. Their bond is deep, a tender thing Hermes guards with playful worry. But the air of Olympus tastes of iron and inevitability. As Crocus looks down, the light of his screen illuminating his face with a message from his love, a discus of destiny hangs poised in the silent sky. And Apollo, from his distant watch, can only stand behind his pride, a spectator to the love he craves and the tragedy he cannot stop.
