Description
Arimnestos of Plataea grew up with a different dream: to become a bronzesmith like his father. But war changed everything. Sold into slavery in the Persian empire, he was forced to fight for survival. To win his freedom, he had to prove himself as a warrior. Now, with the Persians coming to destroy Athens, Arimnestos must face his destiny once more. The battle of Marathon looms large, pitting a small force of Athenians and Plataeans against an overwhelming Persian army. The outcome seems impossible, but yielding would mean the destruction of everything the Greeks have fought for. In the dust and heat of this epic clash, Arimnestos will discover the true price of freedom. As the battle rages on, the dreams of the Greeks will be tested in the fiercest way possible. Will they emerge victorious, or will their hopes be crushed? The fate of Athens hangs in the balance, as Arimnestos and his comrades fight for their very existence.
