Two Spartan boys grow up together, and become inseparable friends.
One is a prince of Sparta, destined to rule this ancient Greek
state, the other a slave, or helot, who serves the young prince. In
the harsh training camps, or agoges, where boys are groomed to
become the great warriors of Spartan fame, their skills are honed
and brutally tested. Only citizens may aspire to the warrior's Red
Cloak, and one of the tests is the annual crypteia, or hunting of
the helots. A beautiful and mysterious young Sibyl speaks of an
uprising of the slaves. The Oracles warn of a deadly conflict
between two ruling factions. Evil forces will challenge the two
boys and test their loyalties, as secret truths about their own
identities are revealed.
