The epic tale of the wars that broke the Bronze Age

??1315 BC??: Tensions soar between the great powers of the Bronze Age. The Hittites stand toe-to-toe with Egypt, Assyria and Greece. War seems inevitable.

When Prince Hattu is born, it should be a joyous moment for all the Hittite people. But the Goddess Ishtar foretells that the boy will one day stain the Hittite throne with blood and bring destruction upon the Bronze Age world.

Thus, Hattu endures a solitary boyhood in the shadow of his siblings, spurned by his father and shunned by the Hittite people. But when war erupts, Hattu is drawn into the fray. It is a savage journey in which he strives to show his worth and valour. Yet with his every step, Ishtar's prophecy only darkens.

Can he achieve the impossible? Can he defy the Gods?
