In 1200 B.C., on the coast of southeastern Thrace, the twin co-regents of Talmarus seek peace with the neighboring city of Diun, near Troy. But when Lord Sul sends the court hunter Angelus to make a sacrifice to Zeus at a nearby temple, the archer finds more than ram's blood: he finds betrayal and regicide. Thus, to possibly save his city from Lord Paros' tyranny and his planned unjust war with Diun, Angelus and his Amazonian friend, Talon, embark on a perilous journey west to consult the Oracle of Delphi, braving on their way demons, gods, and men. It is then that the hunter becomes the hunted, for Lord Paros sends-with orders to kill-five elite soldiers of the Second Guard after the two renegades. Only with the help of a beautiful horsewoman, the King of the Wood, and his faith in Apollo does Angelus stand a chance at liberating his people. Will he overcome his adversary and finally liberate his people?
