King of Sparta, Anaxandridas II of the Agiad dynasty has suffered long term health. He silently struggles to battle the imminent threat of an Athenian invasion, despite a truce. The King is fully aware there is no room for error or weakness. However, he is unaware that the real threat is closer to home, in the house of Agiad. His children, Dorieus, Cleomenes and twins Leonidas and Cleombrotus all have their own ambitions and hidden agendas. When relationships and loyalties become strained, their spartan values of unity and brotherhood are tested. With royal bloodlines questioned, the reputation of Sparta is in tatters.
