The frailest of Spartan boys is thrust into Sparta's merciless military upbringing, which he must survive and endure or fall trying.
Through an arduous and eventful childhood he catapults toward an end that will eternalize him and his people, and at the heart of a conspiracy he ventures toward an abrupt and historic death.
