In ancient Sparta, a warrior named Alkaios is destined for greatness. Unaware that he is the son of Ares, the Greek God of War, he lives by honor, loyalty, and sacrifice. When he falls in battle, his death marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey through the Underworld and into the realm of the gods. Defying death itself, Alkaios rises to become an immortal warrior and protector of Sparta. This is the origin of The Spartan.
