A Mercenary... A Spartan Princess... And Olympic Glory...

When Stefanos, an Argive mercenary, returns home from the wars raging across the Greek world, his life's path is changed by his dying father's last wish - that he win in the Olympic Games.

As Stefanos sets out on a road to redemption to atone for the life of violence he has led, his life is turned upside down by Kyniska, a Spartan princess destined to make Olympic history.

In a world of prejudice and hate, can the two lovers from enemy city-states gain the Gods' favour and claim Olympic immortality? Or are they destined for humiliation and defeat?

Remember... There can be no victory without sacrifice.
