An island lost in the mists of time. Two powerful, unscrupulous enemy kingdoms. A princess who becomes a hostage, a slave who risks everything to save her and a cataclysm that threatens to engulf them all. A long time ago, two powerful men quarreled over a woman, with tragic results that became legend. In the story of the Trojan War, their names and deeds are remembered forever.
