Throughout time, men have waged war. Some for power, some for glory, some for honor -- and some for love. There is a legend twenty eight centuries old that narrates of how a queen betrayed her king; and the warrior he called upon to lead the long, long winding journey of vengeance.

Two worlds will go to war for honor and power. Thousands will fall...
