From the heart of ancient Greece came one of the most formidable land armies to ever walk the earth. The Spartans were unparalleled in both allegiance to their city and dedication to their craft. Born and raised into a militarized society, they knew no other lifestyle than that of struggle and hardship. To the east of Sparta stood Argos—her fiercest rival. Each city continually threatened the security of the other. The Argives were restless after nearly a century of cold war. They were creating something in the shadows of their walls—something to challenge the revered Spartans. They would bring the fight to Sparta’s doorstep, and if left unchecked, they would leave the city in ruins and the Spartan legacy in ashes. Breakout author, Kyle Rock, weaves an inventive retelling of the famed Battle of the Champions. The clash between Sparta and Argos would transform from history into legend and forever earn its place in the echoes of antiquity.
