In 1258 BCE, Troy is close to defeat after years of siege by Agamemnon’s coalition. Priam’s defenders wait for promised Hittite aid, but Hattu has inherited a weakened empire, an exhausted army and vassals who question his right to rule.

Bound by Hatti’s oath to protect Troy, Hattu gathers what forces he can and marches west. The expedition brings Hittite history into the world of the Trojan War, where he must decide whether honouring an alliance can save Priam’s city or merely fulfil his long-standing vision of Troy in ruins.
