We managed to defend the city — but the whole world lies ahead.What happened in my home was only a harbinger of far greater events. Spies and assassins . . . intrigues and provocations.We have many enemies, and just as many problems. But true Spartans have no right to retreat!

My world shattered in an instant. It felt as though Ares himself had unleashed his fury upon us—the family of the Counsellor—obliterating my home and every one of my kin. And that was all I remembered.Who am I? Why did I survive? And why in Hades are creatures from ancient legends suddenly appearing around me?!But even if that's the case—spear in hand, forward. A true Spartan earns the right to die only in battle!
