Athens. The empire's beacon of light. But even during times of
peace, the threat of Sparta - Athens's legendary rival - looms
large on the horizon. When a sudden catastrophe brings Sparta to
its knees, Pericles sees a golden opportunity to forever shift the
balance of power in his city's favour. For sometimes, the only way
to win lasting peace is to wage war. Sparta may be weak, but their
power is far from extinguished. Soon a ruthless young boy steps
forward to lead the Spartans back to greatness. As the drums of
battle draw closer, can Pericles rise once more? Or will the
world's greatest empire fall under his watch? ___________ Praise
