✦ Synopsis

How far would you go to protect your enemy?

Driven by revenge, jealousy, and duty, The Trials of Hercules takes you into a world where the Greek gods once again toy with the lives of humans. The gods have not changed—they are still powerful, petty, and consumed with rivalries. And as before, the gods do not play fairly with those they despise.

Within this world, Herc Dion wakes to a heinous crime. A crime he doesn't remember committing and for which he is sentenced to death by live burial. At the final moment, Eury, leader of the city-state of Portaceae, offers Herc the chance to atone for his crime through a series of trials. Trials that will force him to face monstrous creatures, test his loyalty, and send him to face death itself. Filled with an unshakable sense of duty to Portaceae, Herc readily accepts the risks.

Adding to these challenges, Herc endures perpetual cruelty at the hands of Hera, the goddess who is meant to protect Portaceae. Her blinding hatred of Herc has led to the near ruin of her realm and to her ignorance of Eury's true plans that could spell the end of her existence.

With the knowledge that Hera has done everything to destroy his life, will Herc risk his own life to protect her and to save Portaceae?
