Three times as big as his fully mortal twin, and imbued with extraordinary courage and ingenuity, Hercules began his remarkable feats while still in the cradle. Zeus’s wife, the goddess Hera, jealously schemed to kill Hercules, but the resourceful half-man, half-god escaped her traps and accomplished seemingly impossible tasks.

From the pen of Steve Moore (Dr. Who; Jonni Future) comes a tale of Hercules in his darkest hours.

But within the nation of Thrace lies an epic tale of war, murder, deception and sacrifice that shows Hercules how far from grace he's fallen— and what he must accomplish for redemption.
