In this companion to the award-winning Darius the Great Is Not Okay, Darius suddenly has it all: a boyfriend, an internship, a spot on the soccer team. It's everything he's ever wanted--but what if he deserves better? Darius Kellner is having a bit of a year. Since his trip to Iran, a lot has changed. He's getting along with his dad, and his best friend Sohrab is only a Skype call away. Between his first boyfriend, Landon, varsity soccer practices, and an internship at his favorite tea shop, things are falling into place. Then, of course, everything changes. Darius's grandmothers are in town for a long visit, and Darius can't tell whether they even like him. The internship is not going according to plan, Sohrab isn't answering Darius's calls, and Dad is far away on business. And Darius is sure he really likes Landon . . . but he's also been hanging out with Chip Cusumano, former bully and current soccer teammate--and well, maybe he's not so sure about anything after all. Darius was just starting to feel okay, like he finally knew what it meant to be Darius Kellner. But maybe okay isn't good enough. Maybe Darius deserves better.

It has been found, in all ages of the world, that there is some peculiar quality of thesoil, or climate, or atmosphere of Egypt which tends to produce an inflammation ofthe eyes. The inhabitants themselves have at all times been very subject to thisdisease, and foreign armies marching into the country are always very seriouslyaffected by it. Thousands of soldiers in such armies are sometimes disabled fromthis cause, and many are made incurably blind. Now a country which produces adisease in its worst form and degree, will produce also, generally, the bestphysicians for that disease. At any rate, this was supposed to be the case in ancienttimes; and accordingly, when any powerful potentate in those days was afflictedhimself with ophthalmia, or had such a case in his family, Egypt was the country tosend to for a physician.Now it happened that Cyrus himself, at one time in the course of his life, wasattacked with this disease, and he dispatched an embassador to Amasis, who wasthen king of Egypt, asking him to send him a physician. Amasis, who, like all theother absolute sovereigns of those days, regarded his subjects as slaves that were inall respects entirely at his disposal, selected a physician of distinction from amongthe attendants about his court, and ordered him to repair to Persia. The physicianwas extremely reluctant to go. He had a wife and family, from whom he was veryunwilling to be separated; but the orders were imperative, and he must obey. Heset out on the journey, therefore, but he secretly resolved to devise some mode ofrevenging himself on the king for the cruelty of sending him.
