Abandoned at the altar by Ares for his seductive concubine, mortal princess Althea spends three agonizing years guarding his temple in squalor. Her loyalty meets monstrous brutality when Ares returns, blindly accepts his mistress's false allegations of infidelity, and personally assaults Althea until her pregnancy ends in agony.
On the verge of death, Althea is rescued by Zeus, who descends to announce that the lost infant carried his divine bloodline and crown. Elevated above the pantheon as the sovereign's chosen consort, Althea wields thunderous celestial authority to bring catastrophic retribution against the war god and his treacherous paramour.
