Mankind's greatest epic of freedom -- a courageous people stake their destiny on a woman's love, a warrior's sword, and an almighty prophecy. — In a desert land nestled against the blue of an ancient sea, mightly upheavals of man and nature signal the beginning of the long-prophesied battle for mankind's heart and soul. Here, in the midst of titanic struggle, a promised land awaits its chosen people, who once were led by the great Moses and now follow a soldier so bloodthirsty that his oldest friend, and even his God, may turn against him. Toward this land sails the magnificent ship of a mysterious pirate called the Minotaur and a storm-tossed sea people strangely determined to conquer the most fertile land on earth. And here, a special clan, the Children of the Lion, blessed and cursed by the mark of Cain, forge the mighty swords that will bring down the walls of Jericho...free a beautiful and bewitching slave...and unleash an earthshaking power into the hands of a hero whose name will live for all time.
