The Gods do not take kindly to sins committed against Olympus. When Tantalus, King of Lydia, commits an unthinkable act, his world is destroyed by Zeus.
From the detritus of his father’s kingdom, young Pelops is rescued by the Gods, taken away to safety and healing.
But not all sanctuaries are meant to hold heroes. Grown to manhood in the halls of the Gods, Pelops hears his destiny calling.
Meanwhile, in the long-suffering kingdom of Elis, all live in fear of Oinomaos, the hate-filled son of Ares, who keeps his only daughter, Hippodameia, from the world.
Many heroes come forward to win the the hand of the strong-willed princess, and all meet death at the tip of her father’s spear. That is, until a new hero emerges...
With the Gods’ help, and a heart filled with courage, Pelops steps out of obscurity to challenge Oinomaos and risk all for Hippodameia and the call of his fate.

The fate of all rests on the outcome of a single race that will go down in history and legend.
