In 1275 BCE, the Hittite and Egyptian empires mobilise for a decisive campaign around the fortified city of Kadesh. Hattu marches with the Hittite host while Pharaoh Ramesses II advances from the south, bringing the rival powers toward one of the largest chariot battles of the ancient world.

For Hattu, the campaign is also a pursuit of Volca, the man he holds responsible for his wife’s murder. As political strategy and private vengeance converge on the battlefield, he discovers that securing victory and exacting revenge may demand losses that no triumph can repair.
