A death sentence at birth fuels a twenty-year quest for divine payback.

  1. Zeus orders his newborn son Leon executed after a prophecy names the infant as his future killer. Only the desperate combined effort of Leon's mother and the immortal tutor Chiron spirits the child away from Olympus into hiding.

  2. Two decades pass in silence while the god king assumes the threat is eliminated. Meanwhile, the presumed-dead prince survives exile, forging himself into a weapon with a single purpose.

  3. Leon reappears before the throne that sentenced him, no longer a helpless baby but a hardened force driven by vendetta. The prophecy Zeus tried to bury now stands at his gates, demanding a reckoning.
