The definitive warrior who will put everything on the line from those he leads and loves, Androkles grows from a fierce, young boy born in the shadow of Mount Erymanthos to a powerful and passionate man, who takes command of the Sacred Band of Thebes, leading them into battle. But his greatest test comes when he stands between a vast army and his best friend, ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect the thing he values most, the love he has for his brother warrior, Kallistos.
