The King of the Hittites has been slain, and a reign of terror begins...
1272 BC: Prince Hattu returns home from the battlefield of Kadesh to find his nephew on the throne, the old king's blood dripping from his hands. Under Urhi-Teshub's reign, the Hittite realm has become a land of fear and violent reprisals. Ancient family lines and old ways are being wiped out as the young tyrant strengthens his bronze-fisted grip on power.
Hattu's loved ones are spared only in return for his absolute obedience. Yet he knows he must choose between his family and his burning need for restitution. The Goddess Ishtar, ever-present in his dreams, assures him that there is only one future. A war for the throne is coming... and blood will be let.
