401 B.C.
The 30-year war between Athens and Sparta is over.
Greece lies in ruins.
An entire generation of men has been schooled in war.
General Clearchus of Sparta has brought ten thousand of these desperate mercenaries to what is modern-day Turkey.
They are to raid a rebellious tribe for a Persian governor, Cyrus the Younger.
But Clearchus has not yet told them their true mission ―
It is the only profession they know.
