Arimnestos returns from Marathon with fame but finds his household destroyed by the death of his wife in childbirth. Grief strips victory of its meaning, and an attempt to end his life instead leaves him rescued, captured and chained to an oar in a Phoenician warship.
Among galley slaves drawn from different peoples, he must rebuild the will to survive and turn seamanship, combat and cooperation into a route towards freedom. The voyage carries him beyond the familiar Greek world in pursuit of revenge and a valuable cargo, expanding the Long War from the hoplite field to the violent networks of Mediterranean trade and piracy.
