It's summer break, college applications are in, and it's time for Tennessee Russo's next adventure! Tennessee and Gabe, his best friend (and occasionally more), are heading to Ireland where they'll explore the tomb of Oscar Wilde. But before they can make any real plans, Tennessee gets a call from his dad, Henry. The archaeology world is buzzing about a newly discovered ivory found in Israel. The ivory depicts King David receiving a lyre from Jonathan (his lover). David. As in David and Goliath, king of Israel, and a historical figure who scholars have long argued was queer. His relationship with Jonathan is one that even the Bible describes as deep and special. A lyre given to King David by his lover would be a piece of queer history that Tennessee would love to discover. Forget Wilde, they must find this lyre. Soon Tennessee, Gabe, and Henry are tracking clues and solving puzzles all over Europe. They're not alone-other archaeologists, a secret, questionable organization sworn to protect artifacts, and even the Vatican are desperate to claim the king's lyre before Tennessee can. It's a race against time and across centuries as Tennessee Russo once again works to reclaim and shed light on a long-buried piece of queer history.

Tennessee Russo is having a really bad day. He found out his boyfriend has been cheating on him and his estranged father, Henry, shows up out of the blue acting like nothing is wrong. A famous reality show archeologist, Henry wants Tennessee to join him as he searches for the rings of the Sacred Band of Thebes. The Sacred Band of Thebes was a fearsome army comprised of 150 gay couples in ancient Greece. Can Tennessee pass up the chance to show the world that not only have queer people been here forever, but that they were respected, and they were formidable?
